Niraj Nagarsheth

Niraj Nagarsheth, a name that’s been popping up more and more if you’re the sort who keeps tabs on fresh faces in Indian cinema. The guy’s been involved in a range of projects that kind of bounce between genres, nothing cookie-cutter about his choices. Let’s talk about “Deva” (2025)—yeah, it’s a bit under wraps, but the buzz already has people curious. That’s not just because of the cast, but also because Nagarsheth’s got this knack for picking stories that actually say something. You know how some movies just fade into background noise? Not his style. “Tumse Na Ho Payega” (2023) was one of those flicks that felt super relatable, almost like it was ribbing everyone who’s ever been told they’re not good enough, but in a way where you can laugh at your own disasters. It’s not just straight-up drama—there’s heart, there’s wit, and honestly, a lot of people saw themselves in it. Then there’s “Unpaused: Naya Safar” (2022), which is honestly a pretty gutsy anthology. Different stories, loads of perspectives, and he’s right there in the thick of it, bringing out stuff that feels real. Nothing preachy, just stories about life in the middle of chaos, like the world’s gone sideways and everyone’s just trying to figure it out. Basically, Nagarsheth’s filmography is shaping up to be one of those you actually want to keep an eye on—not just for the plots, but for the little surprises he sneaks in.
