Ranvir's passion for advertising ignited during his engineering studies in Bangalore (Bengaluru). Witnessing an ad film shoot helmed by his uncle, a veteran creative director, planted the seed of his future career.

​

CUT TO, 2012, Ranvir landed a role as an in-house assistant director at Chrome Pictures. His dedication and talent led him to directing his first film for Godrej Protekt Handwash in 2017. Since then, his journey as a director has only just begun.

 

While performance films are Ranvir's specialty, his true desire is to be the "allrounder" of Indian advertising.

Shantanu Sharma is the Executive Producer at Hawa Story, 'aka' the guy who turns “let’s do something cool” into an actual film.

​

With over a decade of juggling commercials, brand films, and digital content, he’s worked with platforms like Netflix and brands like Lenovo, Nykaa, and Lifebuoy; somehow keeping both the madness and the timelines in check.

 

At Hawa Story, he’s usually the first call, connecting dots, aligning chaos, and making sure ideas don’t just stay ideas.
