Vikas Kalantri

Vikas Kalantri is a multifaceted figure in the Indian entertainment industry, primarily recognized as a film producer and actor with a significant presence in Marathi and Hindi cinema. His career trajectory is marked by a strategic shift from acting to production and entrepreneurship, establishing him as a key player behind the scenes. As the founder and managing director of White Feather Films, Kalantri has been instrumental in producing and presenting a diverse slate of films, including notable projects like 'Mumbai Saga' (2021), 'The Dirty Picture' (2011), and the Marathi hit 'Timepass' (2014). His production house is known for backing commercially viable and often mass-entertainment films that resonate with a broad audience, contributing to the business ecosystem of Indian cinema. While his early acting roles, such as in 'Dukaan' (2004), were limited, his greater impact lies in his entrepreneurial vision. He has leveraged his industry position to support various film projects, often focusing on stories with strong regional appeal or high-voltage drama. His contributions extend beyond traditional filmmaking; he is actively involved in event management and hospitality through his company, White Feather Entertainment.
