Shivendra’s love affair with cinema began while he was a student at Doon School, Dehradun. He began his career as an assistant director to his mentor, writer-lyricist and director, Gulzar after graduating with History (Hons.) from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi. It was on Gulzar’s suggestion that Shivendra studied film direction and script-writing at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune. After graduating from FTII, Shivendra launched his career as a producer-director under his own banner — Dungarpur Films. There has been no looking back since then. |
