“There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.” –Jim Lovell

A Billingual Producer, Taking Over The Film Industry
“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember, all things are possible for those who believe.”
-Gail Devers
Born and raised in Sydney, Austria, Tayyab Rizwan Madni belongs to a Brown family. His family background and roots played a major role in defining his film production career as he got more exposure to a bilingual source of entertainment. While he was eager to explore the Hollywood industry, the Bollywood industry equally fascinated him and motivated him to pursue a career in film production.
Tayyab always knew that his education was his first step towards his film production journey. He was enrolled in St Paul’s Grammar Cranebrook NSW Sydney Australia and graduated from high school in 1993. In 1997, he graduated from the University of Western Sydney and took up Hospitality management as his major. While the film producer had his share fair of struggles, his drive to succeed was so strong that he did not let his fears get the best of him.
With hard work, determination, and consistency, Madni finally started gaining recognition for his work. He was soon hired as an Associate Producer for Man Who Knows Infinity, a British biographical drama film. Based on the 1991 book by Robert Kanigel, the film revolves around the life of an Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Tayyab’s contribution alongside producer Edward R. Pressman was remarkable, and he was also appreciated greatly for his work.
Madni’s fifteen years of experience speaks for itself as he continues to shock the world and bless them with his creative capabilities. In 2017, his film ‘Yaman’ gained immense popularity with its heartfelt themes about unrequited love. The film based on an Indian couple starring Sayani Gupta, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Vipin Sharmathe, includes Indian Musical interludes. It expresses the realities of a relationship that many films fail to represent. In 2019, the terrific movie also won the ‘Best Music Award’ during the LGBT Feedback Film Festival in Los Angeles.
They say success comes to those who achieve their goal. While it is true, it is also essential to set new goals to keep succeeding every step of the way. While Madni kept growing and striving for more, he became more and more confident. His confidence motivated him and increased his self-worth, pushing him to achieve great things in the filming industry. In 2017, Madni changed his dream into a reality and launched Picture Works Australia Pvt Ltd. Since launching his production company, he has worked with many remarkable personalities. One of them happens to be Warren Coleman, the co -writer, and co-director of Happy feet. The unstoppable producer joined multiple film societies such as Ruby, Albian club, and Armidale to explore his talents and polish his skills. He also has some upcoming projects that he will be disclosed soon.
Reaching the top takes time and patience, and Madni’s sincere contribution to the filming industry clearly shows that one can overcome competition in this competitive filming industry.
