Location: bombay, India

Son of a soldier, I was born in Sultanganj in Bhagalpur district, Bihar. My childhood days were spent in an earthy rural life. I was deeply inspired by the rich folk culture of Buddha’s own land, Bihar. Right from the beginning, I Grew up with real images of Melas, Ramleelas, Bahuripiyas, incredible rituals, strong religious milieu and the vibrant Mithila Art. Natural calamities like flood and drought gifted unforgettable images. Changing seasons of rural life on the bank of river Ganga matured into a sense of poetry and language. Wonder years passed chasing steam trains that passed through the fields of my native village. Listening to radio programs made for defense personals was my only window to the outside world. With such a treasure of inspirational experiences a story teller evolved. I am a practicing film maker in Bombay today.

''PRAAN JAYE...

Rave reviews

People who have seen Mahesh Manjrekar's ''Praan Jaye Par Shaan Na Jaye'' have nothing but good words for it.
Starring Raveena Tandon, Sushmita Sen, Namrata Shirodkar, Rinke Khanna, Diya Mirza, Divya Dutta and Sweta Menon, the film has won a lot of praise for its treatment and hard-hitting theme. Raveena is the scene-stealer as Sita in this Sanjay Jha-directed flick, while Manjrekar is the surprise.

Says Menon, who is usually known as an item number girl (''Humko tumse pyaar hai ''from Ishq, ''Hai rabba'' from Prithvi and ''Main deewani main mastani' from Bandhan), says, "Some of my friends didn't recognise me in the film. My role is so deglamourised and has so much substance."
The film is slated to release April 25.
