Raghu Tirumala

Raghu Tirumala’s been obsessed with movies since he was a teenager—like, the kind of kid who’d rather mess with a camera than do pretty much anything else. He always knew he wanted to direct. After years of just dreaming about it, he finally decided to stop overthinking and jump in. In 2019, Raghu signed up for this top-tier film direction course. Not just some weekend workshop, either—he went all in, soaking up everything from shot composition to the technical wizardry behind the scenes. Fast forward, and Raghu’s out there actually making it happen. He took the reins on BANDI, this wild bilingual project starring Aditya Om (yeah, the one everyone knows). Raghu’s got this laser-focus on every tiny detail, on-screen and off. He’s not just about pretty visuals—he digs deep, making sure every scene packs an emotional punch and actually makes sense. Dude sweats the small stuff, but in the best way. He’s the type who comes alive when things get chaotic—tight deadlines, last-minute changes, all that. Teamwork? That’s his jam. Raghu gets people hyped and keeps them moving, always pushing for something better. He’s driven by that need to connect, to make sure the audience actually feels something, not just watch passively. Basically, he’s not just making movies—he’s pouring his guts into every frame, chasing that feeling when it all just clicks.
