Director

S. Manasvi

S. Manasvi, originally an architect, pivoted to filmmaking after graduating from FTII Pune in 2004, and has since carved out a solid career as a writer, director, and creator across multiple mediums. He spent years honing his craft as a dialogue and story writer for beloved TV shows like *Left Right Left*, *Parvarrish – Kuchh Khattee Kuchh Meethi*, *Ek Veer Ki Ardaas...Veera*, and *Jiji Maa*, becoming one of those behind-the-scenes names that shaped Indian television's storytelling. His directorial debut came with Rajshri Productions' *Love U...Mr. Kalakaar!* (2011), a romantic comedy featuring Tusshar Kapoor and Amrita Rao, which proved he could work at the feature film level while maintaining his involvement in the digital space. What sets Manasvi apart is his ability to juggle different formats without losing his voice—from TV to films to web content, he's consistently focused on character-driven narratives with heart. Beyond his directorial work on short films and web-series like *Adi Suri Ki Dulhaniya* and *Gum Ho Jayen*, he gained significant recognition as the writer behind SonyLIV's *Bada Naam Karenge*, which struck a chord with both critics and audiences. His contribution to Bollywood and Indian digital content has been particularly valuable in the OTT boom, where he continues to develop shows that balance entertainment with meaningful storytelling.
