Creativity and talent never remain hidden for a long time. If you possess some exceptional creative skills, it will pay off one day or the other. One such name who took everyone by surprise is Rahul Gupta, an emerging and talented director who hails from Kanpur. In 2017, he packed his bags and moved to Mumbai with a dream of making it big in the field of direction. With a lot of hopes, he approached several production houses but could not get any opportunity to showcase his skills. The struggling phase went on but his passion for cinema was never lessened. Things took an unexpected turn in his life when a renowned director, Vishal Chaturvedi approached him the work offer.
He got a job in Laughing Colours which is one of the biggest entertainment pages of Asia on Facebook. With serious dedication and sincerity, he started working at Laughing Colours and created a lot of videos which became viral. Some of his commendable works include 'Smoker's Diary', 'Gaali', 'Beti Kyun Bachao' among others. However, he worked at Laughing Colours for a year after which he decided to look out for better opportunities. `Growth is very important in everyone's life not just financially but also professionally. After creating viral video content, I wanted to try my luck in the digital space. Some things take time, but they are definitely worth the wait`, said Rahul.
Later, he started approaching producers to invest money in one of his web series. After a lot of rejections, he finally met Ankur Tiwari; owner of Brotherhood Motion Pictures and brother of Ankit Tiwari who is one of the popular Bollywood singers. Rahul's work left Ankur impressed and later they worked together in 'Beer Boys and Vodka Girls'. Rahul donned the director's hat for the web series and it is now available on the newly launched OTT platform Prime Flix. Since then, Gupta has built a solid impression of himself and is one of the most promising directors. On the professional front, Rahul Gupta is gearing up for his directorial web series with ULLU which is one of the emerging OTT platforms.
