Manoj Soni

Manoj Soni, now there’s a name that floats around in a few different film circles, and honestly—he’s got a wild range on his hands. You might know him thanks to “Karzzzz” (2008), which, yeah, the title’s got enough Zs to make you think someone fell asleep at the keyboard, but nope, it’s all intentional. That movie’s basically a reboot of the old classic “Karz,” and Manoj Soni was right in the thick of it, helping to bring that reincarnation revenge drama back to life. It’s one of those flicks where past lives, catchy tunes, and melodrama get shaken up in a blender. But wait, rewind a little further, and there’s “Shaktimaan: The First Indian Superhero” (1997). Back in the day, this series was like India’s answer to Superman, and it absolutely blew up on TV. Soni’s fingerprints are all over it, working on a show that pretty much defined superhero TV for a generation of kids. The spinning transformation sequence? Iconic. And, let’s not forget “Unnaipol Oruvan” (2009), a tense thriller that’s basically a chess match between a mysterious common man and a police officer. Soni worked on this tight, no-nonsense film that strips away the fluff and dives right into the tension, pacing, and mind games. So, whether it’s supernatural revenge, superhero origin stories, or gritty psychological showdowns, Manoj Soni’s been there, done that, and left his mark. Not everyone can say that, right?
