Kannada writer-director and co-founder of P2P Creations, with two released short films — Maarjaala (2021, horror-thriller, 4K) and Mrinmay (2022, sci-fi) — and a third, Kanmare, in post-production. Across these projects I’ve worn every hat: writing, direction, lyrics, acting, and poster design, building a full production ecosystem in Sira, Tumakuru with a committed local team. I’m currently developing my debut feature, an original Kannada thriller with a fully structured screenplay. My background is unusual: 12 years as an engineering consultant in Bengaluru’s corporate world, alongside life as an arecanut farmer — giving me engineering-grade story structure and a deep well of authentic Karnataka characters, from IT floors to village santhes. I write in Kannada with a native ear for how people actually speak. Watch: Maarjaala — youtu.be/nQg5YuM0kGM | Mrinmay — youtu.be/Ix4XVnWfovc”
