Sachiin Joshi (also spelled Sachin Joshi, born 7 August 1984) is an Indian actor, producer and entrepreneur who has worked in Telugu and Hindi cinema. He began in Telugu films in 2002, moved to Hindi cinema with Aazaan (2011), and returned to Telugu with Nee Jathaga Nenundali, a remake of Aashiqui 2.
Background
Joshi was born in Pune. His father, Jagdish Joshi, owns the JMJ group of industries. Joshi was a businessman before he became an actor.
Telugu films
He made his debut in the 2002 Telugu film Mounamelanoyi and followed it with Ninu Choodaka Nenundalenu (2002) and Orey Pandu (2005). According to the source, he did not manage to establish himself in Telugu cinema at the time.
Hindi films
After a gap, he played the title role in the Hindi film Aazaan (2011), which he also co-produced.
Return to Telugu and later films
He returned to Telugu with Nee Jathaga Nenundali, reprising the role Aditya Roy Kapur played in Aashiqui 2, opposite Nazia Hussain. He also played a lead in Jackpot (2013) alongside Sunny Leone and Naseeruddin Shah. His self-financed film Amavas, with Nargis Fakhri, was widely panned. Overall, his Hindi work had a mixed reception.
Business
Joshi’s companies include Viiking Ventures, which sold the Kings Beer brand, later known as Goa Kings. In November 2020 he bought the Dambulla franchise of the Lanka Premier League and renamed it the Dambulla Viikings. Sri Lanka Cricket terminated the franchise in 2021, before the league’s second season. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he offered his hotel in Powai to Mumbai’s civic authorities as a quarantine facility.
