Feeling incredibly proud today winning the Best Visual Effects award at the @indywood_ai_cinefest this is a milestone that means so much to me.
After the recognition at the Higgsfield Contest, this honor at home feels even more special. It’s a reminder that the countless hours of hard work, experimentation, and late nights are being seen and celebrated. Grateful for the journey, the community, and the chance to keep pushing the boundaries of AI-driven storytelling.

A quirky spec ad for Taj Mahal Chai, starring three of Hollywood’s finest.
Inspired by the iconic Bud Light “Skydiver” commercial, we added a subtle Indian twist at the end. A lighthearted counterpoint to our serious storytelling, from the gravity of cinema to the joy of chai.

By the time I finished writing the draft of Kaliyug Rising, I looked at the strokes of ink pen on raw paper, and I knew it would be going somewhere!
And it did!

From 8,752 global entries across 139 countries, only 23 films rose to the top.
And Kaliyug Rising stands alone in the top 23, as the only Indian film to receive an “Honorable Mention” at the Higgsfield Make Your Action Scene Contest, the largest AI film contest in history.
This recognition isn’t just about one film, it’s about shifting the narrative. India, with its unmatched creative energy, proved it can lead the global AI filmmaking revolution. To be the sole representative in the top 23 is more than a milestone; it’s a statement.

From pen‑on‑paper flowcharts to handwritten drafts, Kaliyug Rising - The Beginning, began as pure instinct.
Traditional storytelling shaped its soul, but today it finds new life through AI filmmaking; it’s a glimpse into the future.
As the only Indian film trending in Higgsfield’s Make Your Action Scene Top 15, it stands as proof that creativity evolves yet remains timeless. Watch. Share. Celebrate.
