Director

Abhishek Jain

Abhishek Jain is the guy who basically helped bring Gujarati cinema back from the dead. Starting his directorial journey in 2011, this Ahmedabad-born filmmaker has racked up some seriously impressive credentials—he's best known for his Gujarati hits like Kevi Rite Jaish, Bey Yaar, and Wrong Side Raju, with Kevi Rite Jaish being the film that really put him on the map as a revivalist of the regional industry. Beyond just making films, Jain's an entrepreneur at heart: he founded CineMan Productions, a feature and ad film production company, and even launched Oho Gujarati, India's first dedicated Gujarati OTT platform. His ambitions clearly extend across the entire ecosystem of Indian cinema. What sets Jain apart is his ability to blend regional storytelling with mainstream appeal—something that's proven crucial in his transition from Gujarati to Hindi cinema. In 2021, he made his Hindi directorial debut with Hum Do Hamare Do, a heartwarming family comedy produced by Maddock Films that showcased his knack for creating relatable, entertaining narratives. His films tend to carry that distinctly Gujarati flavor of humor and warmth, but with a universal quality that resonates across audiences. Through his work as both director and producer, Jain has quietly become one of the architects of contemporary regional cinema's growth in India, proving that strong stories don't need massive budgets—just genuine heart.
