After fulfilling my Mother's dream, I finally entered my dream in Cinema in 2015, I started as a writer for scripts & then worked in Casting & photo shoots, grooming & personal coaching & workshops for actors for almost one year, later in 2016, I turned out to be a director & Producer with a movie titled STUDENTS produced under the banner name PASSION MOVIE MAKERS.
Our Purpose for starting our productions was more than Money & fame, it was started with the motive of creating a platform for many passionate young talents across the State of Karnataka, So we conducted auditions all over Karnataka, and nearly 2000 databases we accumulated through successful audition Since then we started grooming pure fresh young new talents across the state by grooming them well & creating a good platform for new talents actors & technicians..STUDENTS was released in 2017 June & movie successfully ran for 50 days throughout Karnataka & then in 2018, I made a film titled BINDAAS GOOGLY, which was a dance concept movie, where there were 9 songs in the movie & movie became a Musically hit movie all over Karnataka released in 2018September & then I focused on few Music video ALBUMS as well in South, I made 12Music videos in which 6 Kannada & 6Hindi music. video ALBUMS released in Reputed South Music channels.

After 3 theatrically films released in the South Kannada Film Industry &also completing 12 Music video songs, I looked for an expansion of business to the North Bollywood Industry, So I have made 3 Scripts to be made in Bollywood titled DSAHEB, YUV THE ROBIN HOOD & CRIME, ALL these 3 titles have been registered under.

Most people think there is a formula to make a movie.
But I feel there is no such formula in filmmaking, WE just have to love it & our Passion for art and cinema should not perish at all, Not even a second passion should drop from our soul..Realize the passion, make a good passionate circle, be a child again & look at creating an ideal world for cinema.
