Rooted from Kolkata , I have started my creative journey with Theatre . Worked with reputed theatre group Rangakarmee under the Direction of Usha Ganguli in the plays, Ratnakar Matkaris Lokkatha, Mahesh Elkunchwar 's Holi , Swadesh Deepak's Court martial . Theatre taught me the nuances of characters , sub text and method . After my stint with Rangakarmee for 8 years i worked with NSD Almunis for 1 year , which enriched my understanding of the art . But Cinema was the call for me always. To understand Cinema better , I had done the Film Appreciation Course from FTII . But i always wanted to do my kind of Cinema, and to survive with that vision i had chosen an alternative profession , advertising . I have worked as an AD Filmmaker & Creative Strategist. Advertising taught me the strength of Ideas and how to tell a story in few seconds . In 2015 , i have launched my own production company Showbigg . Started with a Bengali Feature Film NAXAL with Superstar Mithun Chakraborty . My current film is MASK , whih is Written & Directed by me , starring Brijendra Kala , which is going to be released soon in a Prime OTT platform .
