Amazon MX Player, an ad-supported video streaming service, has pulled the curtain back on ‘Billionaire’, revealing that actor-enterpreneur Arjun Rampal will headline the upcoming original series.

With ace filmmakers Hansal Mehta and Robbie Grewal at the helm, the series is written by Anubhav Chopra and Shantanu Sagara and produced by Prabhleen Sandhu, under the banner of Almighty Motion Picture.

The announcement, according to a media statement from the streamer, marks a key step forward in the service’s growing originals slate, reflecting its continued push towards engaging, premium storytelling that speaks to audiences across the country.

In a changing India, ‘Billionaire’ traces the rise of a powerful business magnate who rewrites the rules to build an empire of influence and ambition. But when the very force that drives his success begins to consume everything around him, where does it all lead to.

Speaking about the series, Amogh Dusad, Head of Content, Amazon MX Player, 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, 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 and 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.”

‘Billionaire’ will stream soon on Amazon MX Player, available across mobile devices, connected TVs, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Airtel Xstream.
