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 "Kapil Dev" of Indian advertising – a versatile master of all aspects of the craft.

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.
