Distributor Hyat Shaikh of Odyssey Media & Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., maybe a Young Turk debutante in the distribution business, but is reputed to have the Midas Touch as is evident in the quick successes that he has notched up within a short span of time. Hyat Shaikh has expanded horizons from Bollywood, Hollywood and now Kollywood films by acquiring the rights in south Indian market.
Hayat’s success story spells out big ticket films such as Dabangg, I Hate Luv Storys, Khatta Meetha, Aakrosh, Crook, Jhootha Hi Sahi, Help, Hello Darling, Resident Evil After Life (English), Break Ke Baad, Double Dhammal, Singham, Venghai (Tamil) and Kaanchana Munni 2 (Tamil).
In fact, he is one of the few rare distributors going steady and strong and charting an ambitious path ahead. He has already worked with leading filmmakers, producers and production houses. In fact, most of the producers and production houses kept all the other zone rights with them and released only the south Indian market rights to Hyat Shaikh because they were confident that he will be able to work wonders. And accepting the challenge, Hyat Shaikh continued to chart a fresh course with ambitious and aggressive marketing-cum-distribution for Bollywood, Hollywood and Kollywood films in south India.
Hyat has been actively involved in film trading, strategy and planning for various films, procurement and management, event management, film production and has a knack of increasing sales and speeding profitability.
