"What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion for filmmaking, leading me to pursue a dual major in Cinematography and Direction at AISFM, Hyderabad. Over the last decade, my curiosity for visual language has evolved from behind-the-lens artistry into full-scale production.
Today, as a Director, DOP, and Producer, I lead EkkiBayi Films. My work is dedicated to uncovering the 'visual silence' in human-centered narratives, rural stories, and wildlife documentaries, providing a seamless bridge between a creative vision and the complex logistics required to bring it to life."

Why do
I MAKE FILMS?
For me, it's a form of communication.
Filmmaking is a powerful form of communication, and cinematography is the language I use to tell the stories that matter most to me. I’m drawn to stories that take us on a journey through unique characters and places, stories that bridge gaps and connect people across the globe, regardless of the language they speak. Through the universal language of cinema, I tell stories that resonate with everyone, creating connections that transcend borders and cultures.
MY INTERESTS
DOCUMENTARY
With a passion for authentic storytelling, I found my niche in documentary filmmaking, staying true to reality in every narrative.
TRAVEL
I have traveled across India and to 10 different countries, seeking out untold stories and capturing moments that truly matter.
PEOPLE DRIVEN
STORIES
I follow real people whose stories reveal deep truths, unfolding naturally through the lens of cinema.
The Art Of
SEEING
My work is largely observational, inspired by the things I see in day-to-day life and how they relate to the stories I want to tell. I aim to bridge the simplicity of everyday moments with the beauty of visual storytelling. My framing and lighting are influenced by the common perspectives of an audience, as though they are present in the space, experiencing the story through their own eyes. This approach allows me to create a sense of intimacy and connection, making each story feel personal and immersive.
Storytelling Through
Visual Metaphors
I seek the rhythm between spaces, characters, and the objects that define them, uncovering relatable connections and visual poetry through shapes, textures, patterns, and the subtle signs of life. By exploring these elements, I create compelling visual metaphors that not only support the narrative but also add depth and layers to the characters.
Reading The
LANDSCAPE
"I believe every landscape has a rhythm, finding the poetry in shapes, textures, and the subtle signs of life. By understanding the environment first, I can use visual metaphors to add layers to a character's story, making the setting as much a part of the narrative as the people within it."
