About me

I'm a writer and filmmaker based out of the San Francisco area. I'm primarily known for my work on the crime-noir graphic novel Mumbai Confidential (now in development as a motion picture based on a screenplay by me). I am the writer of the neo-noir streaming series NAKAAB on MXPlayer (starring Mallika Sherawat, Esha Gupta, and Gautam Rode).

My credits include SHOLAY: GABBAR -- the official prequel to the Sholay-verse along with WITCHBLADE (Image Comics/Top Cow), THE PHANTOM (Moonstone Books), MOON MOUNTAIN (Penguin) , WAY OF THE WARRIOR (Penguin), and DEEPAK CHOPRA PRESENTS INDIA AUTHENTIC, SHEKHAR KAPUR’S DEVI, THE SADHU, JIMMY ZHINGCHAK (with UTV/Spotboy), and MUMBAI MACGUFFIN for Virgin Comics/Graphic India.

I'm always open for reachouts for collaboration and new projects. So please feel free to drop me a line.
