About Manohar Chimmani


Hi. 

I’m Manohar Chimmani—a Writer, Film Director, Blogger and Nandi Award-Winning Storyteller with a passion for crafting narratives that captivate and inspire.

As a Life Member of the Telugu Film Directors' Association (TFDA) and the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), I bring a wealth of experience to the world of cinema.

My Journey

From a humble beginning as a Machinist to becoming an award-winning Writer and Film Director, my path has been fueled by relentless curiosity and a deep love for storytelling.

Academically, I excelled—earning two Gold Medals in Post-Graduate studies at Osmania University, Hyderabad. My fascination with languages led me to master Russian, where I topped my batch in the Advanced Diploma program. Additionally, I pursued Journalism and Advertising & Management through post-graduate diploma courses.

The Writer in Me

Writing has been my foundation. Over the years, I’ve penned short stories, articles, features, and serials for leading Telugu publications. My literary contributions include:

Translation of Russian short stories into Telugu
University-listed books, including Adhunika Journalism (Kakatiya University, Warangal)
Nandi Award-Winning Screenwriting Book Cinema Script Rachanashilpam (now a reference book in multiple universities in AP & Telangana)

I was also the first writer from Warangal to receive the prestigious Nandi Award—a milestone I deeply cherish.

Among my recent works, I authored "KCR - The Art of Politics," exploring the leadership of KCR, first Chief Minister of Telangana. The book was launched by KTR, former Minister & BRS Working President.

Cinema & Beyond

Before stepping into films full-time, I worked in three Central Government Organizations—HMT, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, and All India Radio—for nearly 18 years, before embracing a full-fledged creative and spiritual journey.

As a Writer-Director, I have directed four Telugu feature films.

🔴 My latest feature film, #ErraGulabi (a road-crime-drama), has completed shooting and is now in post-production.

🔴 Currently, I’m working on two of my most ambitious projects, both in pre-production.

Let’s Collaborate

As I expand my creative vision, I’m open to like-minded collaborators, investors, and film enthusiasts who resonate with high-concept storytelling, bold narratives, and commercially viable cinema.

If you're someone looking to be part of compelling cinema—as a creative partner, investor, or associate producer—let’s connect and create something remarkable together! 🎬🔥
