Jitender Kheterpal (Director)

Jitender started his career as an actor in Bollywood & he interacted with several talented people from NSD (National school of Drama ) who inspired him in believing that a good actor can become a good director as well. As a result, he ventured into direction in the year of 2002 where he made his debut with a short-film - 'Virar To Churchgate', film based on struggle in city of Mumbai and this was highly appreciated in the British film festival. 

Thus began his journey as a director. Jitender also writes story, dialogue & screenplay inspired from real life situations. His second venture was 'Filmi Very Filmi'- a short film based on the life of struggling aspiring actors who are tagged as - 'Side Actors or Extras'. Being brought up in a atmosphere of social service Jitender was inspired to make a movie on the life of deaf & dumb boy & his struggle to make his place in this normal world titled - 'Main Bhi Hoon'. Then came his next venture - 'Lo Aaya Samir' -a light comedy which is based on the life of an NRI (Non Resident Indian) boy who comes to Bollywood to try his luck. He comes across people from different aspects of Bollywood & learns the meaning of success after a series of struggles. The experiments on these short films has given Jitender insight into human life & especially women oriented subjects which inspire him & also subjects related to NRI (Non Resident Indians) & their issues/challenges in India & abroad.
