Sunil Sharma
Sunil Sharma isn’t your run-of-the-mill movie producer—this guy’s basically rewriting the playbook for how indie cinema can look in India, especially coming out of Jammu & Kashmir. He’s the brains (and, honestly, the guts) behind Riyom Films, a production house that doesn’t just churn out the same old stuff. And that’s not even the whole story—he also heads up Cyborg Network Communication, which is pretty wild if you think about it. Jumping between film and digital communications? That takes some serious hustle.
His latest project, “Shaila,” is getting a ton of buzz, and for good reason. The film is like a love letter to Jammu & Kashmir, showing off the landscapes in a way that kinda makes you want to pack your bags and go there immediately. But it’s not just pretty scenery—there’s real heart in the storytelling. Sunil didn’t just bankroll the project either; he rolled up his sleeves and got involved as a lyricist and even sang on the soundtrack. Not a lot of producers go that far, let’s be real.
What’s cool is how determined he is to put his home state on the cinematic map. You can see the pride and the drive in every shot of “Shaila.” He’s not just making movies, he’s building opportunities for other local artists and crews too. Sunil Sharma’s journey feels like a blueprint for anyone who’s got big dreams and refuses to stay in their lane. The guy’s energy is infectious, and it’s clear he’s just getting started.
