After Netflix, Phantom Films to make digital series for Amazon Prime

The runaway success of Netflix India Original Sacred Games (2018), which received extraordinary reviews from national and international media, has benefited a lot of people on various levels.

It helped actor Saif Ali Khan win audiences’ love back, after a series of unsuccessful films. Phantom Films, which produced the series, strengthened its position as one of the premier production houses when it comes to creating niche content for any platform.


Looks like Phantom Films is going to continue its tryst with digital medium. After a very successful collaboration with Netflix, we hear that the production house is now set to sign a deal with rival Amazon Prime for a digital series.

According to reports, Queen (2014) fame Vikas Bahl and Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) fame Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari have been picked up by Phantom Films to co-helm an untitled series for Amazon Prime Video.

More details are awaited.

  • Earlier names were featured at moments of global crossover or cultural influence
  • The list shows how international visibility shapes recognition

Ranbir Kapoor’s inclusion in the TIME 100 Most Influential People list for 2026 places him in a rare group of Indian actors who have featured over the years. While the list spans global figures across industries, representation from Indian cinema has remained limited, with only a handful of actors making the cut at key moments of international visibility. Kapoor now joins that short list, adding a new chapter to how such influence is being defined.
