Growing up in a small village in kerala, india, my childhood love for cinema found its first expression in school plays and youth theater. These early lessons laid the groundwork for my creative journey long before I stepped onto a film set.
My perspective was further broadened by my journey of seeking knowledge in theatre & cinema abroad and through master filmmakers. Over the last three decades, that foundation expanded into a rich filmmaking career.
As a filmmaker, academician, mentor, and speaker, I have conducted over 1000 workshops and training programs across regional and international platforms.
Having worked through every layer of the craft, from early short films and associate directing to my 2009 feature directorial debut, I continue to tell stories that examine human relationships, faith, culture, and social realities while bridging diverse perspectives
My work explores the delicate nuances of human existence. While circumstances vary across cultures, the core of the human heart remains universal. I choose to tell character-driven stories of the mind rather than issue-based dramas.
By capturing the tiny, quiet realizations that occur when life challenges us, I aim to create cinema that resonates with viewers in every corner of the world—offering an emotional bridge that links us all.
