I'm an aspiring film director passionate about bringing compelling and character-driven stories to life on the big screen. With a strong focus on cinematic storytelling, directing, cinematography, editing, and film marketing, I aim to create films that resonate with audiences both emotionally and visually.
I recently directed Aditya, a Tollywood-inspired love story, which has gained recognition in multiple international film festivals, winning awards and nominations. My experience extends beyond filmmaking, I also have a background in digital marketing, helping films gain traction and reach the right audiences through strategic promotions and PR.
