About me
Mahi's journey as a filmmaker is a testament to the playful yet transformative power of storytelling. Growing up as a curious child, he found inspiration in the world around him, learning to live with stories long before he began sharing them. His eclectic path—spanning fourteen diverse jobs, from a door-to-door sales assistant in India to a gas station attendant and a stockkeeper in London—allowed him to gather a rich tapestry of experiences. Each role provided a unique lens through which he observed life, igniting a passion for storytelling that would eventually define his purpose, or what he playfully refers to as his “dog’s bone.” Mahi’s films, whether road narratives, comedy-horrors, or political biopics, reflect his versatility and unwavering commitment to exploring the myriad facets of human experience.

Driven by an insatiable wanderlust and a deep-seated desire to push the boundaries of imagination, Mahi revels in delving into unknown landscapes, both literal and metaphorical. His ability to navigate various genres—from supernatural thrillers to sitcoms—demonstrates his refusal to be confined by convention. He embraces every moment as an opportunity to learn and grow, often saying, “Breadth the idea... Be a seeker, be a witness, be patient and be in a state of lucid. Trust in the universe to whisper it to you. Trust me, the universe never lets you down, as it is in search to find a voice as well.” Encountering him might feel like gazing into a kaleidoscope—colorful and intriguing, yet leaving you with more questions than answers about the intricate patterns within, all of which he chooses to express through his stories.
