I am a doctor infact an ophthalmologist by degree and a film director by passion. It does sound strange but that’s what I always wanted to be. 

My father was a civil servant, life was good but there were lot of transfers. My parents wanted us to be doctors , my brother and I. But I was always creative. 

So when I got a top rank in all India medical entrance I chose KEM college in Mumbai instead of AIIMS Delhi so that I could be closer to Mumbai- because that’s where all the action was. 
After getting my medical degrees, I was ready to pursue my passion. I started working at Disney then with some friends started my own company where we produced children’s YouTube content. 

It however was movies I always wanted to make, so I got offer for my first movie, Surzameene Hindustan-it was funded by ministry of defence. After that I made another movie, the last to be shot in Ukraine before the Russian attack.

Now I have recently finished shooting for walk -Rahul Roy plays the main protagonist of the film, Roshan. The Walk is a bittersweet comedy-drama inspired by the plight of migrant workers during the 2020 lockdown. It is a story about the courage and resilience of the human spirit. With Walk, I want to capture the pain, joy, and hope that comes with the journey of life, and to remind us all that when we stand together, no hardship is insurmountable.

Walk is such a story where we find laughter, love, affection between a grown man & a child, how it binds them together to be a family.
The film depicts the time when the Indian subcontinent is shut down by a devastating Pandemic, Roshan (Rahul Roy) must deliver his dead friend’s son back to his village, across 1000 miles of unforgiving lockdown territory. A bittersweet comedy-drama in the genre of 'Life Is Beautiful', inspired by the migrant workers of India who had to walk 1000s of kilometers back to their  homes during the 2020 lockdown.
