The company specialized in film production and event management.The business was plagued by financial difficulties. The main reason for the bad performance of ABCL was blamed on the gross mis-management of the company by the then CEO, Sanjiv Gupta , who went on to become the CEO of Coca Cola India.[2][3]
The company burst into the limelight in 1996 when it was responsible for bringing to India the Miss World Pageant, but was then mired with controversy when the company was not able to pay its dues.[4][5]
The company was launched again by Amitabh Bachchan in 2001 as A B Corp. The company then went on to produce hit films such as Paa in 2009 Directed by R Bali and Viruddh... Family Comes First. The company has also signed a deal with Reliance BIG Entertainment.
