Indian-origin producer Sandip Patel continued to strengthen his international presence at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, where he showcased the growing ambitions of SRHP Films. Based in Augusta, Patel has been actively building connections within the global entertainment industry while promoting cross-cultural storytelling through Hollywood-scale productions backed by Indian creative influence.
A major attraction during Cannes was the upcoming Hollywood film Holy Father, directed by Shravan Tiwari. The film stars renowned Hollywood actor Eric Roberts along with Mary Lyrette and has already generated industry attention for its international production value and cinematic scale. The project reflects SRHP Films’ strategy of creating globally relevant content capable of reaching audiences across diverse markets and cultures.
At the same time, SRHP Films celebrated the launch of another ambitious Hollywood project, Sundown Town, whose official ceremony took place in the United States on May 23, 2026. Produced by Sandip Patel and Rita Patel, the film is scheduled for a 2027 release and further highlights the company’s growing involvement in international cinema production. Industry observers believe these projects represent a significant step toward positioning SRHP Films among emerging global production banners from the Indian diaspora.
During the festival, Sandip Patel also participated in several high-level networking meetings and film market discussions focused on global distribution opportunities and international collaborations. As a member of the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association, Patel interacted with IMPPA Vice President Atul Patel for insights into international film business expansion. He also received support from award-winning digital marketing executive and photographer Ashvin Borad, who was honoured at the Filmfare India International Film Festival. With multiple projects in development, SRHP Films continues to move toward becoming a strong bridge between Indian storytelling and mainstream global cinema.
