Nadiadwala started as an AC Technician and then later worked as spot boy and graduated to become production assistant in his uncle's production house before establishing his own production company called "Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment". The production company has churned out many hits including Jeet (1996), Judwaa (1997), Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega (2000) and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004).
Despite being heavily hyped, his 2006 film Jaan-E-Mann failed to do well at the box office. [2] His next release however, the 2007 film Heyy Babyy, was one of the year's biggest hits.[3] His 2009 production Kambakkht Ishq received worldwide media attention due to the casting of American actors such as Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh, and the initially rumored participation of Arnold Schwarzenegger. His first film of 2010, HouseFull staring Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and Boman Irani was a hit. On September 30, 2010, he announced a sequel to HouseFull which would again star Akshay Kumar and be directed by Sajid Khan, who would thus complete his three-picture deal with him. His latest film Anjaana Anjaani released on October 1, 2010 to high expectations but turned out to be a box-office dud. He frequently casts Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar in his films, as Salman is his friend while Akshay Kumar is a childhood friend (Akshay was Sajid's junior at the Don Bosco School).
Nadiadwala was married to actress Divya Bharti in 1992 until she died on 5 April 1993. [4] He subsequently married former journalist Wardha Khan and has two sons with her, Subhan and Sufyan.
Nadiadwala has produced following films.
