About the Director: 

i am an independent film maker,dreamer since childhood,used to visualize the small incidents into a cinematic tale,circumstance around me that time did not allow to pursue cinema as career so i went to Germany and spent 12 years there and worked in professional business.i was kept doing the work i never enjoyed so one sad day i realized after many years that i am still living the same child who used to dream but never got chance to convert them into reality so i decided to come back and give at least an attempt to the vision i always had.after coming back to India i did a film making course,and made one short film of 7 min. which got appreciated in many circuits,and this has gave me a courage to make my own feature,so i started my first movie Khudakushi-birds of prey.the story about two Indian Muslim youngsters who got trapped in a pathetic situations around them and dilemma of living in a society where they feels suffocation.The movie has got rave reviews from viewers and also got award in best film category in Mexico international film festival,and got nominated in Youth International film festival in Uk.I have been encouraged by the appreciation by the viewers and i hope and promise that i will keep entertaining the audience with my tales through celluloid audio video mode which we call cinema.
