A prominent figure in the Indian entertainment industry, this individual is 42 years of age, with a multifaceted career spanning screenwriting, theatre direction, and television direction.
Born in Kerala, India, he spent his formative years in Jamshedpur, Bihar, where he attended school. This period had a profound impact on his artistic outlook and politics, which are deeply intertwined in his writing.
During his college days at the Delhi University, he began working with theatre groups such as Act One and Jan Natya Manch, dedicating over nine years to socially relevant theatre. In 1998, he relocated to Mumbai, where he has since established himself as a writer of research-based, socially relevant films and alternative television shows.
One of his notable works is the dialogue for 'Gafla', which featured in the Guardian's top 10 films of the Times BFI London Film Festival in 2006. His original screenplay, 'Summer 2007', employs a popular narrative style to highlight the agrarian crisis, rural neglect, and urban myopia, which drives farmers to suicide.
Furthermore, 'Yudh' is a pioneering original mini-series on Indian television, starring Amitabh Bachchan and creatively produced by Anurag Kashyap.
