Dylan Mohan Gray is the director of The King of Good Times, the pilot film of the new Netflix series, Bad Boy Billionaires: India, which has been the most viewed show in India for much of October. The film chronicles the rise and fall of Vijay Mallya, heir to a brewing fortune and founder of Kingfisher Airlines. Vijay was known for his excessive lifestyle, over-the-top personality, and lavish investments in sexy, high-profile ventures like cricket and Formula One racing teams. Despite his massive affluence, Vijay is accused of money laundering and fraud, which is said to have arisen from financial recklessness and over-reaching at his growing airline.  In this episode, Dylan and I discuss not only Vijay’s story, but how his excessive ambition, over-confidence, and lack of a sense of enough got him— and others who already have way more than they need — into big, big trouble.  An award-winning documentarian, Dylan also directed Fire in the Blood, which explored the high price of AIDS drugs in the developing world. The film was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival and The Wall Street Journal called it “powerfully cinematic and vitally important.”  Dylan holds an AB in History and Film from Dartmouth College and an MA in Contemporary History from Central European University. Read Paul Ollinger’s latest essays on Medium.Please take a second to rate and review Crazy Money here.
