'The Descendants's director Laksh Maheshwari to debut in Bollywood

Entertainment Nov 13, 2025

Laksh Maheshwari, known for his hit trilogy The Descendants, is stepping into Bollywood with not one but two film adaptations.
The first—a big-budget take on his trilogy—is being made by the production house behind Mastii 4, while his original murder mystery screenplay will be produced by MS Dhoni's new entertainment company.

Maheshwari's live shows have already garnered him a fanbase

Maheshwari's switch from finance to storytelling has already won him fans in India and Dubai through his live shows blending poetry, music, and philosophy.
Now, with filming on the second project set for mid-2025 and major names backing both movies, he's bringing fresh literary vibes—and some serious cross-industry energy—to mainstream cinema.
