== Career ==<br />
<br />
=== Advertising ===<br />
<br />
After completing his post graduate diploma in Film Direction and Screenplay Writing, he decided to make advertising films in spite of his cult status as a subversive filmmaker in the film school. Under the banner of Equinox and later Z Films, he made documentaries and hundreds of popular and some award-winning commercials for reputed clients and leading advertising agencies. His most significant contribution to Indian Advertising is the localization and the use of vernacular language in advertising films, a phenomenon which has now become the norm.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/when-ravi-rode-home/article6799257.ece|title=When Ravi rode home|last=Kumar|first=Anuj|date=2015-01-18|work=The Hindu|access-date=2018-04-01|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref><br />

=== Children of the Silver Screen ===<br />
During his period in advertising he had the opportunity to work with many child actors. He had observed them closely and was inspired to tell their story.

It was a unique exploration into the world of professional child actors. This effort fetched him a lot of honors and recognition both national and international: including the National Film Award [Special Mention].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-the-arts/films/story/19900831-children-of-the-silver-screen-captures-the-price-child-stars-pay-for-glory-812970-1990-08-31|title='Children of the Silver Screen' captures the price child stars pay for glory|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2018-04-01}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b7bce4b02|title=AADHI HAQEEQAT, AADHA FASANA (1991)|work=BFI|access-date=2018-04-01|language=en}}</ref> and the Special Jury Prize at Cairo International Children Film Festival.
