Nitesh Tiwari and his team
Over the years, we have heard that “the director is the captain”. A skilled storyteller can lead the audience into an imaginative world or allow them to introduce an unknown or neglected fact of life. A good story can only be proven to be justified by a skilled director. Today, we will discuss a film director like this, an outsider, who quit his routine because he knows his true call.
After years of hard work, he finally entered Bollywood. After a haunting start with Chillar Party (2011), Nitesh’s third director made history, a feat that remains relevant, indestructible and unachievable. His bold attitude and comedy blends with subtle drama, making the audience his fans. It can be said that Nitesh Tiwari is the largest director in Bollywood and one of the top directors in Indian cinemas.

Nitesh serves as software developer
Recently, Nitesh interacted with Komal Nahta in his podcast Changeers. He revealed there that he worked as a software developer for four months. “In the 90s, if you were good at studying, you either became a doctor or an engineer. It’s not that I didn’t have any interest. I even worked for a software company for 4 months, but somewhere I didn’t find that piece. I wanted to do what I like, you know, not what I want to do.”
