deadline.comOmid Djalili Launches Production Outfit British actor-comedian Omid Djalili has launched a TV, film and podcast production company.
The star of The Infidel is forging Tiny Speck Productions with Infidel producer Shahin Sobhani and his “family of creatives” including producers Ara Devine, Isabella Djalili-Devine, and Louis Djalili.
