About me
I founded Muni Arts to make commercial movies in global market of entertainment industry. Films remained always fascinating for me as it can change you. To realise my stories before audience it was necessary to get the technology of this highly technical media. It was 3 Jan 2000 when I was in the Asian Academy of Film Institute situated in Noida by Sandeep Marwah for my course in filmmaking. At that time, this was the only easily approachable institute near Delhi, where students used to come from all over the world to learn filmmaking. I realised that getting glimpse of filmmaking is not sufficient to make films. I started to cultivate every field to gain complete knowledge and in 2007 finally decided to launch film production company Muni Arts.
Filmmaking is a holistic approach where knowledge is not sufficient. It is different kind of field, where success comes only with passion. Knowledge is abstract only and is only information most of the time. To get chance to utilise your knowledge is the most important thing. Moreover, filmmaking is not complete if it is not reached to the audience. From the very inception of idea until professional screening before the audience, one needs a perfect team working together. It needs live relationship of many individuals who work symbiotically. When passion of filmmaking enters the soul and reflects in every relationship than filmmaking is possible.
What I am?
I always advocated the use of modern evolving tools in the field of education; whether it is print media or electronic media. I have been always a strong imaginer, and this all started after listening stories from my mother, grandmother and my uncles in my childhood. Those stories seeded imagination in my mind. I enjoyed becoming a part of virtual world of comics of Chacha Choudhary, Chanda Mama, Lot-Pot, and others. Me and my brother Ashok would have done anything to get a comic book in those days. In my virtual dream world, I always remained as a hero. This habit became obsession for me, and I always enjoyed it like a video game.
Far from the real world, I kept imagining myself the protagonist of my future ventures. Though my thoughts were only the reflections of my observations of my surroundings, only disadvantage was that it detached me from the real world. In spite of this, I succeeded to earn some good friends in my school life. However, the impact of parallel-imagined world of mine was so strong that I kept living in that world more and more. My every practical activity was to get that dream world of mine, the future world. To carry out the goal I always strived for the source of moral and religious energy. Nobody could satisfy the hunger of my mind.
However, one day, miracle occurred when I got a pocket-book containing Teachings of Swami Vivekananda. My God! I can tell you, I got everything in that book which was of only one rupee. It was full of energy, for which I was strive. My all hunger was appeased. Sayings of Swami Vivekananda inspired my soul. The essays of Sardar Puran Singh especially affected me, which was a part of Hindi prose book in our Intermediate syllabus. I kept that book for a long time and referred many persons to read. Such an effect of writings overwhelmed me. Thanks to the Education Department of Uttar Pradesh, So inspirational writings were included in our textbooks! Hindi essays of Sri Ramchandra Shukla was compiled as ‘Chintamani’ remained as a holy book with me for years. I read stories of Prem Chand and other writers.
I was very shy in my school days but when I read these writers, I changed gradually. It looked like my soul got voice. I can say now that those days were the happiest days of my life and I got the most satisfaction in reading those writings. The effect of these writings was that I began planning to achieve my virtual world, which was a part of my inner personality. I began sharing my ideas with my college friends, those ideas that took years to gain shape with a strong believe. My dreams turned into my goals and I started gathering means to make it.
I saw those who studied only to make career. However, I was out of race because my purpose was not to make career, but to find my own virtual world. I could not explain this to anybody. How could I? There was no means. I switched streams, gained knowledge and earned degrees. I could not settle myself with any career, because, from the beginning, that was not my purpose. I realized that nothing is more precious than education in this world.
I am Master of Science with chemistry (MSc Chemistry) and later I completed Bachelor of education (B.Ed.) and Bachelor of Law (LLB). I started teaching in my college days for pocket money, which continued as a part time work for a long time. Filmmaking remained my passion always so I keep learning initials of film making in a crash course. I am the writer, director, cameraperson and editor of all films and TGM videos that are on you tube. You can watch my videos by clicking here. In the year 2007, I established Muni Arts to make films professionally. I have a lot to offer the industry. I accept challenges to complete commercial projects with new people with their fresh vigour.
If you want to work with me and wants to build career in entertainment and media industry, Muni Arts is for you.
