About

Being a creative visualiser has always been fun. I love telling stories, love dreaming and love my RC cars. Writing stories and creating a visual representation through films, cartoons, drawings, photographs has been my first love. But off late I have been introduced to this magical world of song writing.

Roots: Tracing Origins | Creative Director

Nov 2024Mar 2025 · 4 mos · India · On-site

  • This show has been an incredible journey—one of self-discovery as a delegator, introspection, and, as always, pushing boundaries to bring a kickass concept to life. I’ve always believed in the power of storytelling, and Shekhar Kapur Presents: Roots – Tracing Origins is a true testament to that belief.
  • Blending documentary with fiction, this film delves into India’s rich artisanal heritage, uncovering the timeless crafts and the skilled hands that keep them alive. From intricate weaves to age-old techniques, it brings untold stories of craftsmanship to the forefront, celebrating the artistry and legacy of Indian artisans. At its heart, the narrative follows Shivaay and Mithali on a journey of self-discovery, guided by none other than the master storyteller himself, Shekhar Kapur.
  • As Creative Director and Director of Post Production, I traveled across India—from the misty hills of Jammu & Kashmir, capturing the magic of Ramban Sulai Honey, to the buzzing silver workshops of Hupari in Kolhapur, and the legendary weaves of Kancheepuram Sarees in Tamil Nadu.
  • India’s artisans have always held a special place in my heart. Bringing this show together with my incredible team wasn’t just about crafting visuals—it was about honouring the hands, the heritage, and the soul behind every tradition. And that, to me, is the essence of storytelling.
