Mumbai-based film production company Sunshine Pictures will launch its initial public offering on Tuesday, August 18, with a price band of Rs 342 to Rs 360 per share, the company announced. The Rs 282 crore IPO comprises a fresh issue of Rs 172.80 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 109.33 crore. Anchor investor bidding is scheduled for Monday, August 17.
The Hindu Businessline reports that proceeds from the fresh issue, up to Rs 112.5 crore, will be used for working capital. Promoters Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Shefali Vipul Shah are selling shares worth Rs 73.13 crore and Rs 36.21 crore respectively. The company, known for films including The Kerala Story and Holiday, reported a net profit of Rs 40.02 crore on revenues of Rs 74.43 crore in FY2026, with an EBITDA margin of 78.65 per cent.
Sunshine Pictures' claimed EBITDA margin of 78.65 per cent will draw scrutiny from market participants. The narrative that content companies with a few hits can command premium valuations often ignores the lumpy cash flows of film production, where a single flop can wipe out years of profit. The real test will be whether the company can sustain such margins across its pipeline of six films and two web series. Investors should watch the anchor book quality on August 17 for cues on institutional appetite at these levels.
