Jayant Sinha

Jayant Sinha, man, what a wild career path. He’s not just some regular film guy—he’s bounced around as a dialogue writer, director, actor, and screenwriter, doing his thing in both Bollywood and Hollywood. That’s not something you hear every day. His name got tossed Kangana Ranaut’s way by Sai Kabir, you know, the dude behind Tiku Weds Sheru and Revolver Rani. Clearly, he’s got the right people vouching for him. Jayant’s kind of obsessed with scriptwriting legends. We’re talking heavyweights like Syd Field, Robert McKee, Blake Snyder, Lisa Arnold, and the myth master Joseph Campbell. Not just a fanboy, though—he actually put that knowledge to work when he jumped into directing with his first feature film, MehrYaar, back in 2019. That one starred Prashant Narayanan, Thalavasal Vijay, Preeta Mathur, and Atul Mathur, plus a couple of fresh faces in the lead. They shot it all over India—no boring sets here. The story’s got guts. It follows an educated Muslim girl who decides she’s had enough and stands up against the whole burqa tradition. Not the usual predictable fare, honestly. Cinedreams Productions backed it, with M. Satishchandra laying down the music, Mukesh G. and Jemin Jome behind the camera, and Shri Krish handling choreography. Prabha Amarnath took care of the VFX and editing, so it’s not just a slapped-together indie. Jayant, by the way, cut his teeth at Canterbury University, getting a film direction degree, and he’s even been in the trenches with some Hollywood projects. The guy’s got range.
