Cigar is a union of three production houses:

​

Windmill Films - Naved Punjabi (Producer)

Naved Punjabi, once the force behind Windmill Films, has returned with a new chapter, Cigar Films. He began his journey at JWT, moved through DDB Mudra, Taproot, and Oink Films, and went on to produce campaigns for brands like Aditya Birla, Big Bazaar, Britannia, Dell, Indostar, ITC, Lenskart, Maggi, Marico, McDonald's, Micromax, Myntra, OLX, Reebok, Set Wet, Shoppers Stop, The Times of India, Titan, and many more.

In 2018, a sudden brain haemorrhage put everything on pause. After six years of recovery, Naved is back, recharged and ready. Since 2024, he has returned to producing with full force, recently delivering films for Maruti and UPI, and is now actively pitching for new stories to tell.
