Staring his career with only seed money on hand, MKS within a short span of 18 years has grown into an oak, its branches spreading all around. So much so, that in 1998 he has felicitated as “INFILM Guru” special Jury Award by AAAI, New Delhi.
 
 

“Whatever I have achieved,” say the modest man; “is out of my humility, hard work, dedication, trust of my professional colleague who help and stood me in good stead whenever I faltered. Without making it a prestige issue, I learned from my mistakes-NO ONE is perfect, least of all I. This being my belief, I continue to learn even to this day. Between every sunrise and every sundown, from every person and every business transaction, I learn and grow from within. This is a MANTRA I have always been chanting for myself.
After carving a niche for himself in INFILM Advertising, MKS is now embarking upon to introduce “Branded Films”. It’s a new concept of film making. What is art? What is a good movie? Who decides that? Pondering over these questions, MKS is into making movies only with potential film makers. It is said that fiction cannot match the truism of reality. So MKS is all for making movie based on real life. There is no other formula better then what real life offer s. MKS therefore cherry picks stories of human interest, inspiring and extraordinary, in their own right. The stories need to be real. Of course, he adds some cinematic value to make them worthy of larger audience. The subjects on which is MKS itself is currently working are: Identity, Lallu, Putra, Karvat, Manzilien, Phol Kheley Hain Gulshan Gulshan… and Kalaam, to name a few.
