Mumbai: Amazon MX Player has announced its upcoming original series Billionaire, headlined by Arjun Rampal, marking a significant addition to its expanding slate of premium, ad-supported content. The announcement was made at the Amazon Ads event ‘Connected Worlds’, underscoring the platform’s continued push toward high-quality storytelling.
Helmed by acclaimed filmmakers Hansal Mehta and Robbie Grewal, the series is written by Anubhav Chopra and Shantanu Sagara, and produced by Prabhleen Sandhu under the banner of Almighty Motion Picture.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving India, Billionaire traces the rise of a formidable business magnate who reshapes the rules to build an empire driven by ambition and influence. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the consequences of unchecked power and the personal cost of success.
Speaking about the series, Amogh Dusad said, “Billionaire is a story about ambition, power, and the cost of success. Unveiling the series at the Amazon Ads event marks a significant milestone for us, setting the tone for the next phase of our originals journey. Collaborating with filmmakers like Hansal Mehta and Robbie Grewal brings strong creative depth and vision to the project, while Arjun Rampal adds gravitas and intensity to this compelling character. At Amazon MX Player, we remain committed to building a slate of original stories that are engaging, accessible, and free for audiences across the country.”
Sharing his excitement, Arjun Rampal added, “I am really excited about this one. Playing a role like this is definitely not something that comes your way every day, and when it does, you grab it with both hands, feet, and whatever you’ve got. Working with the incredible Hansal Mehta & Robbie Grewal has been a dream come true and I can’t believe it’s going to be fulfilled soon. It feels great to have the fabulous team at Amazon MX Player making this journey even more special. The preparation starts soon, I am soaking into the world, getting to know the character better and really gearing up for something will be a very rewarding journey. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store for the audiences.”
The series will stream soon for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, accessible across mobile devices, connected TVs, the Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream, reinforcing the platform’s commitment to delivering premium entertainment at scale.
