An engineer by education, he received a Diploma from NSD and FTII for Acting. He came to Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1978 to become an actor. Not belonging to a film background, he had to start from scratch. He started off as a Chief Assistant Director to Late Mr. Ramanand Sagar.
After Acting in a few films & television serials and being the Chief Assisting to a few directors of that time, e.g.: Late Shri Atma Ram & Late Shri Shakti Samata, he found himself more suited behind the camera. He therefore started concentrating more on film & TV direction.
