In fact, Prime Focus Limited (PFL) reported 93.7 per cent growth in operating profit (EBIDTA) for the twelve month period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016 (12M-16) as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

For bollywood blockbusters like Baaghi, Rocky Handsome, Housefull 3 or Udta Punjab, Prime Focus has ventured into the industry by providing VFX, DI and other camera services and equipments. The VFX studio has also tapped the advertising space by providing visual effects for various TV commercials too.

The company recently expanded their VFX business in Vancouver. Also, the recent merger with the VFX big house Double Negative has drastically changed the strides for Prime Focus.
