As a film producer, Nandy backed films such as Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi, Kaante, Jhankaar Beats, Chameli, Shabd, and Pyaar Ke Side Effects.
Mishra expressed gratitude towards Nandy for producing his acclaimed 2005 film Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi. "Pritish Nandy changed my life. Only he could make 'Hazaaron Khwahishen Aisi'. He taught me so much. I am so sorry Pritish Da. I couldn't come up with an idea for the sequel," he wrote on X.
Mehta said his most personal work, the 2017 movie Omerta, had lost "one of its greatest patrons". He revealed that it was Nandy who encouraged him to make Rajkummar Rao-starrer which was based on the life of British-Pakistani terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.
