Raj Kundra – On his birthday, businessman and actor Raj Kundra announced the launch of his new production house, Akaal Films, marking a fresh step in his creative career. The venture was introduced through a post on Instagram, where Raj explained that starting a production banner had been a long-standing ambition. He said the company would focus on stories shaped by courage, identity and sacrifice, with Punjab serving as an important source of inspiration. Rather than limiting those stories to a regional audience, Raj said he hopes to present narratives rooted in Punjab to viewers around the world.
Akaal Films Focuses on Punjab-Rooted Stories
Raj shared a video to introduce the production house and described Akaal Films as a platform for stories connected with Punjab, its history, people and cultural spirit. His announcement also highlighted his intention to explore stories about earlier generations and the experiences that have shaped the community over time. In his Instagram message, Raj said the venture represented more than simply a production company for him, describing it as the beginning of a journey he had wanted to undertake for years.
The actor also sought blessings for the new venture, ending his announcement with a reference to Waheguru. The launch gives Raj an opportunity to explore storytelling from a different professional space while bringing subjects connected to Punjab to a wider audience.

The production announcement came as Raj Kundra celebrated his birthday on September 9. His wife, actress Shilpa Shetty, marked the occasion with a warm social media message for him. She affectionately referred to Raj as her “darling Cookie” and expressed her wishes for his happiness, love, laughter and abundance in the year ahead.
Shilpa’s message also reflected on their personal bond. She wrote about sharing everyday moments with Raj, including laughing together and enjoying life as a couple. Her birthday note ended on a light-hearted and affectionate tone as she said that life feels sweeter with him.
A New Chapter Beyond Business
For Raj, the announcement of Akaal Films adds a creative dimension to his public career. While he is widely known as a businessman and has also appeared on screen, the new banner places storytelling and film production at the centre of his latest project. His announcement makes clear that the production house will have a strong connection with Punjab while aiming to tell stories that can connect with audiences beyond the region.
The timing of the announcement also made his birthday particularly significant, combining a personal celebration with the launch of a venture he says he has wanted to pursue for a considerable period. Akaal Films now represents the beginning of Raj Kundra’s latest creative chapter, with its future projects expected to reveal how the production house develops its stated focus on Punjab, its heritage and its people.
