New Regency is adding to its executive ranks with another former Netflix executive.
The company has hired Nirokhi Raychaudhuri as SVP of Feature Film. Reporting to Natalie Lehmann, President of Motion Pictures and Television, Raychaudhuri joins her former Netflix colleague Laura Delahaye, who joined the company earlier this year as Head of Domestic Television.
New Regency’s film slate includes The Bikeriders starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy with Focus Features, Steve McQueen’s Apple TV+ movie Blitz with Saoirse Ronan and Alex Gibney’s forthcoming Elon Musk documentary for HBO.
The company is also behind films such as Bohemian Rhapsody, The Revenant, 12 Years a Slave and Heat.
Raychaudhuri spent nearly four years at Netflix, serving as Senior Manager for the Original Independent Film group. She worked on features including Luckiest Girl Alive with Mila Kunis, Look Both Ways from Wanuri Kahiu, See You Yesterday, and Kissing Booth 2 & 3.
Raychaudhuri said, “As a lifelong film lover, it’s an honor to take this role for a company as storied and successful as New Regency. There is perhaps no better place to continue my passion for championing distinct creative voices to move and entertain wide audiences, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to contribute to the company’s fantastic film legacy.”
“Nirokhi’s addition to New Regency is another step forward in the development of our leadership team and the growth of our feature film department. She brings an impressive ability to identify top stories and talent, resulting in films that are as impactful as they are globally popular,” added New Regency Chairman and CEO Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann, President of Motion Pictures and Television.
