-

Maniesh has established himself as a people’s Director. His strong eye for colours and capturing beautiful moments has allowed him to cleverly interpret story lines with pace and excitement. He work hard at perfecting every project that comes his way.

RECENT WORK

Moving to directing was the most exciting challenge. She knew that combining her art direction style with performance would bring a whole new dimension to her work. Her style is detailed, ‘quirky’, ‘unique’ and she seem to encourage wonderful performance from people, especially women. She always wants to push her work further into the dialogue and comedy areas, and of course you get her ‘look’ thrown in, thats just part of the deal.

RECENT WORK

For Parikshit, adfilm making has been a wonderfully enriching journey. He has been a wonderfully enriching journey so far in which he has been fortunate enough to have touched almost every genre with equal enthusiasm and comfort. Though characterization, performance, and drama is something that he enjoys the most in films, he is of strong belief that adding value to the communication is inevitable while translating the text to audio visual, without distorting the sactity of the core idea.
