100 PERCENT PROFICIENCY, TRANSPARENCY, FAIRNESS & HONESTY
After schooling at Bishop Westcott Boys’ School, I went to St. Xavier’s College to pursue the Intermediate of Science. I then graduated from Hindu College, Delhi University. My post-graduate studies followed this in Filmmaking and VFX. Film directing is a multi-discipline endeavor, and a Director acquires many skills over the years. I have proficient knowledge of editing in Final Cut Pro. I am also a certified Cinema drone flier.
I have been working in this industry for two decades on all kinds of projects, be it star-studded projects or small-budget ones; I have seen it all. I not only have deep scientific knowledge of all the aspects of filmmaking but also have all the necessary skills to implement it and mount any project on a grand scale.
When I was still studying at Hindu College, my first work experience happened as an Assistant Director with Debaloy Dey in Chandramukhi, featuring Sri Devi and Salman Khan.
After this, I worked with the ace filmmaker Feroz Khan for years. This laid my foundation in production, direction, and editing at the best technological hubs in India. Following this, I worked with Jayaprakash, Pankaj Prashar, Mani Ratnam, and Rakesh Mehra.
I made my directorial debut with the feature film ‘India Phir Bhi No.1’ produced by Uttam Kumar, featuring Milind Soman, Tara Deshpande, Milind Gunaji, and others.
MY LEARNING
MY DIRECTORIAL DEBUT
INDIA PHIR BHI NO. 1
India Phir Bhi No.1 attempts to understand the youth of our country. It endeavours to reflect on their mind-set as they try to explore social transformation through self-realisation. It captures the realism of their thought, the opportunities they create, the values they pursue and the end they meet.
