Director

Aditya Om

Aditya Om is a versatile creative force in Indian cinema who's been making waves across Telugu and Hindi films since the early 2000s. He kicked off his acting career with Lahiri Lahiri Lahirilo in 2002, but it was his performance in Dahanam that really got people talking—the film earned him multiple best actor awards at various festivals. Shifting gears to the director's chair, he helmed Bandook in 2013, proving he's equally capable behind the camera. Beyond films, Om has also explored theatre and television, showing he's genuinely committed to storytelling in all its forms. What sets Aditya Om apart is his willingness to experiment across mediums and languages, never limiting himself to just one corner of Indian cinema. His directorial work reflects a thoughtful approach to narratives, while his acting choices demonstrate range and depth. Recently, he expanded his creative portfolio even further by publishing Story of Bharata in 2024, a book inspired by the legendary Hindu epic Mahabharata. It's this kind of ambition—blending film, performance, and literary work—that positions him as a genuine artist rather than just another industry name.
