As head of Kintop Pictures, Nayar served as producer for David Lynch’s critically acclaimed “Lost Highway” and Wim Wender’s award-winning “The End of Violence.” Additional films include Golden Globe and Bafta-nominated “Bend It Like Beckham,” 2004’s “Bride and Prejudice,” Paul Berges’ “The Mistress of Spices,” and last year’s “The Walker.” Nayar has been nominated for an Academy Award for “The Buena Vista Social Club,” along with director Wim Wender for Best Documentary.
