==Early life==<br />
Miransha Naik grew up in Borimol village, Quepem. He dropped out of his commerce course in College to join the hospitality industry. He set up his own beachside shack and beach huts, named ''Blue Corner'', on [[Benaulim beach|Benaulim Beach]].<br />
<br />
After settling his business, he began travelling within India and abroad. With all the travels, his love for films grew further. He recalls that two scenes in ''[[Juze]]'', which show the village children watching [[Subhash Ghai]]'s ''[[Karz (film)|Karz]]'' and ''[[Hero (1983 film)|Hero]]'', are based on memories of Naik and his young friends and Naik's love for movies.<br />
<br />
He then took a short-term screenwriting course at Asian Academy of Film and Television, [[Noida]]. In 2010, he entrusted his sister and brother-in-law the responsibility of running ''Blue Corner'' and joined a screenwriting course at [[Whistling Woods International Institute|Whistling Woods International]], [[Mumbai]] where he was exposed to a wider range of films, including Indian and international [[Art house films|arthouse films]]. He co-wrote his first short, ''Remember A Day'' in 2012, before going on to direct ''Ram'' (2014).<ref name="RedBull2018"><br />
