About the company

Benetone Films was founded by a chance meeting with Feroz Khan, whom the founder and his sons helped to complete a 40-day shoot in Thailand. The shoot was originally planned to be in Australia, but the Indian producer-actor-director, impressed by Thailand's locations, infrastructure, and efficiency of the crew, moved the shoot to Thailand.
Thereafter, recognizing the potential of Thailand's production strengths, Benetone Films was officially launched in 2002. It has since line produced over 80 feature films and 900 commercials from Israel, Australia, Singapore, Russia, Turkey, France, the Indian subcontinent, and other countries worldwide.
