Summary

Indian casting director and occasional actor who has worked across Hindi and Marathi cinema since the early 2010s. His credits include Shivaay, Bucket List, Anandi Gopal, Sooryavanshi, Neighbours, Daagdi Chawl 2, Jaggu Ani Juliet and Singham Again, alongside more than 250 advertising campaigns. He has also been involved in production through Filmitarian Entertainment and Filmitarian Mediaworks. In a 2025 interview, he described producing a rural-focused film about migration, village depopulation and local development, but the available public record does not show a sustained activist, partisan, DEI or identity-politics persona. His career is primarily conventional casting and production work.
