American actor Zac Efron has launched his own production company.

The 22-year-old High School Musical star has partnered with his manager Jason Barret to form Ninjas Runnin' Wild Productions.

Efron has employed Fox network executive Jason Young as the head of development and Angie Edgar of Alchemy Production Group as his creative executive, reports Contactmusic.

"We're looking for stuff that is original, that doesn't necessarily have a brand associated with it. You can make something truly brilliant now and it doesn't have to be a remake," Efron told USA Today.

Company executives have a number of projects lined up already with Efron in the starring roles. (ANI)
