The Birth Of A Cineaste
MARWAR | In today’s world, social networking helps one keep in touch with friends and stay abreast of latest developments. Social networking can also change the course of one’s life, as it did in the case of producer Manish Mundra.
For Mundra, founder of Drishyam Films, the foray into the world of Indian cinema began in 2014, after he came across a tweet by actor-director Rajat Kapoor, who was then seeking investors online for his film Ankhon Dekhi. Mundra, the managing director of a billion-dollar petrochemical company based out of Africa, had grown up watching movies and dreamed of being a part of the industry one day. It was but natural that he contacted Kapoor and decided to take up the opportunity and be an investor-producer for the film.
Ankhon Dekhi went on to win three Filmfare Awards and three Screen Awards. For Mundra, his journey had just begun. Soon more films and awards started pouring in.
