Hi, I’m a screenwriter with strong client-facing skills and a successful movie, TV, Advertising and Radio career spanning both Canada and Asia. In 2014, I co-wrote DR. CABBIE, starring Kunal Nayyar (Big Bang Theory) and Adrienne Palicki (G.I. Joe - Retaliation). Despite being released in just 55 theatres, DR. CABBIE broke the record for a box office opening and went on to become Canada’s second highest grossing movie that year.
As Associate Producer of LITTLE ITALY (2018), I was actively engaged in every aspect—from being heavily involved in the scripting to dealing with the director, cast, production crew, food stylists and chefs during the shoot, and later on, with the edit, ADR and marketing. LITTLE ITALY is directed by Donald Petrie, best known for movies like Miss Congeniality and Grumpy Old Men, and starred Hayden Christensen, Emma Roberts and Alyssa Milano.
I’ve also had a highly successful advertising career, having spent several years at the top 10 global advertising agency GREY WORLDWIDE. Having spent his formative years in Mumbai and the past 18 years in Canada, I’m among a rare breed of screenwriters who’s equally well-versed, adept and comfortable with thinking in, writing for and understanding cultures on both sides of the planet.
Awesome. Nice to meet you.
