Shakun Batra
Born (1983-01-01) 1 January 1983 (age 43)
New Delhi, India
OccupationFilm director

Shakun Batra (born 1 January 1983) is an Indian film director and screenwriter. His first film was the moderately successful romantic comedy Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012). He followed this with the widely acclaimed family drama Kapoor & Sons (2016).

Career[edit | edit source]

Batra entered the film industry working as an assistant director on Excel Entertainment films like Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) and Rock On!! (2008), while starring in the former as Nilesh, a trivial character.

He made his directorial and screenwriting debut with the romantic comedy Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012), which was produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. Rachel Saltz of The New York Times commented, "The happy surprise of Ek Main aur Ekk Tu is that it's not crude, sniggering or vindictive. Instead it's rather sweet and sometimes even a little unexpected."[1]

Batra's next film was the family drama Kapoor & Sons (2016).[2][3] Writing for The Hindu, Namrata Joshi said that the film "keeps you riveted as you move from one family fight to another" and praised Batra for giving "a refreshing new voice to an old, tried and tested trope."[4]

Batra's next movie is said to be a romantic drama that revolves around two couples. One of the couples would be played by superstar Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The movie was expected to go on floors in March 2020.[5][6] He also turns producer with this movie.[7]
