Farhan and Ritesh partnered and laid the foundation of Excel Entertainment with the former's directorial debut 'Dil Chaahta Hai'. While Farhan being a child of veteran lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar had a natural affinity towards cinema, Ritesh, Farhan's childhood friend belongs to a business family.

Together the two have delivered films such as 'Don', 'Lakshya', 'Don 2'. The two, who were earlier known to cater to just urban stories, have now diversified into the hinterland with productions such as 'Mirzapur' and their multi-lingual blockbuster 'K.G.F.', the first part of which opened a new market with its pan-India release, resulting in an even more successful second part.
