Featured Puppetry Projects and Custom Designs

I had the incredible opportunity to design "Vichaar Kar" (VK), India's first healthcare brand mascot, for Sahyadri Hospitals. Here I am with the legendary actor Anil Kapoor, who co-stars with VK in "The AKVK Show," a series of videos where we make healthcare conversations engaging and fun.

For the Paani Foundation's Farmer Cup, my team and I built these 11-12 foot tall giant puppets. This one, representing Bali Raja, was part of a large-scale dance drama that told the story of the farmer's movement to an audience of over 7000 people. Creating puppets of this scale is a challenge I love.

We designed and created these realistic crocodile puppets for a YouTube promo for the Netflix film 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba'. This project involved detailed craftsmanship to build lifelike animal characters that could be operated by my team for the shoot.

The character Tatya Vinchu is an icon of Marathi cinema, a puppet my father first brought to life. In this video, the puppet itself speaks on its legacy, reminding everyone that while new trends come and go, he remains the original gangster of the puppet world. It's a character that is very close to our family's heart.

This is a glimpse of the vibrant and diverse puppets we create for large-scale stage productions. This Kathakali puppet, designed for the "Ardhavatrao 100 Not Out" show on Zee Marathi, showcases our ability to blend traditional Indian art forms with modern puppetry for television events.

I believe puppetry is a powerful tool for social change. Here, I collaborated with the Ghatkopar Police for a 'World No Tobacco Day' awareness campaign, using my puppets to engage with the officials and communicate the message of not becoming a puppet to addiction.

Passing on this art form to the next generation is a passion of mine. This video shows one of my workshops where I teach children the basics of ventriloquism and puppet making, helping them create their own characters and stories right here in my Mumbai studio.
