1955 was the year. A momentous decision was taken by the Nadiadwala’s to diversify from a successful development and construction business to entertainment. A. G. Nadiadwala sensing the commercial potential that showbiz fostered, produced the movie "Inspector" starring Ashok Kumar and Geeta Bali.
Inspector did extremely well at the box office giving impetus for A. G. Nadiadwala to take the baton and scorch the flamed turf of the Hindi film industry with a golden run of hits, super hits and blockbusters.
From Patthar Ke Sanam, Rampur Ka Laxman, Parvarish to Hera Pheri, the focus was to churn out clean entertainment attuned to the pulse and sentiments of the paying public. In a strategic move towards building a corporate entity and leverage valuable expertise garnered in decades of feature film production, Firoz A. Nadiadwala, the visionary son of A. G. Nadiadwala founded BIG – BASE INDUSTRIES GROUP.
Films became an extension of his personality - full of style, panache and wit. The process of film production and business were a reflection of his eye for detail, meticulous planning and systematic execution. From the fringes, the Industry took notice. The difference was apparent. The effect was seen in the way Firoz A. Nadiadwala reflected the science and art of filmmaking in his very own films.
Today, top technicians from all around the world vie to work in BIG’s films. Artistes dream of being a part of BIG’s ventures. The cream of creative talent in the diverse areas of films consider BIG as a breeding ground for innovative and quality work.
As the saying, “miles to go...” Firoz A. Nadiadwala’s, obsession to realize goals continues, with not steps, but BIG leaps.
