Mumbai’s glamour quotient shot up a notch as Variety Magazine India officially marked its grand launch, drawing a star-studded guest list from across the film industry. Celebrities including Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor, Isha Koppikar, Diana Penty, Lulia Vantur, Anya Singh, and several others graced the event, making it a glittering celebration of cinema, culture, and creative power.
Launched in February 2026, Variety India arrives as the Indian edition of the globally respected entertainment publication, following its partnership announcement in September 2025. The magazine is a collaboration between Variety and Thursday Tales Publishing Pvt. Ltd. (TTPPL), signaling a major step in bringing international entertainment journalism standards to Indian shores.
The leadership team behind the venture adds solid credibility to the launch. Sarita A. Tanwar takes charge as Editor-in-Chief, while Gautam B. Thakker, Partner at TTPPL and CEO of EveryMedia Technologies, spearheads the business vision. Based in Mumbai, the publication places itself right at the heart of India’s film, OTT, and media ecosystem.
Making headlines even before hitting stands, Variety India’s debut cover, released on February 1, 2026, featured Bollywood heavyweights Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar. Titled “Unshakable. The superheroes that broke the rules of stardom,” the cover set the tone for the magazine’s bold, industry-insider approach.
The launch event itself reflected Variety’s global legacy blended with Indian flair — stylish, sharp, and industry-focused. Conversations revolved around cinema’s evolving landscape, streaming dominance, and India’s growing global entertainment footprint, with celebrities and media professionals mingling under one roof.
With its high-profile debut and strong editorial vision, Variety Magazine India is positioning itself as a definitive voice for the Indian entertainment industry. If the launch buzz is anything to go by, this new chapter in entertainment journalism has begun on a blockbuster note.
