KriArj Entertainment was an Indian motion picture production company founded by Prerna Arora and Arjun N. Kapoor.[1] The first film under this banner was the 2016 period drama film Rustom, starring Akshay Kumar and Ileana D'Cruz. It was followed by the comedy drama's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017), Pad Man (2018) and the horror film Pari (2018).[2][3] The name of the company is an amalgamation of Krishna and Arjuna, a reference to their spiritual dialog in the Bhagavad Gita, a holy text of Hinduism.
