About Manohar Chimmani

Hi,

I am Manohar Chimmani, a Nandi Award–winning Writer, Film Director, and Blogger.

I am a Life Member of the Telugu Film Directors’ Association (TFDA) and the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC).

I also serve as the Managing Director of Swarnasudha Projects Private Limited, a real estate company specializing in farmlands and farm plots, and as the CEO of 10X Media, which focuses on multiple creative and media-related activities.

My Journey

From humble beginnings as a machinist to becoming an award-winning writer and filmmaker, my journey has been driven by curiosity, discipline, and a deep commitment to storytelling.

• Academic Achievements: Two Gold Medals in postgraduate studies (M.A., M.L.I.Sc.) from Osmania University, Hyderabad

• Languages & Studies: Advanced Diploma in Russian, securing first rank in my batch at Osmania University; postgraduate diplomas in Journalism and Advertising & Management

• Professional Experience: Worked for nearly two decades with central government organizations, including HMT, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (Maddirala, Guntur), and All India Radio FM (Kurnool)

• Current Focus: Full-time Film Director and Freelance Writer

The Writer in Me

Writing has always been my foundation. Over the years, I’ve:

• Translated Russian short stories into Telugu

• Authored university-listed books, including Adhunika Journalism

• Written the Nandi Award-winning screenwriting guide Cinema Script Rachanashilpam

• Explored leadership and culture in works like KCR – The Art of Politics

Through writing, I transform experience into insight and connect deeply with readers and creators worldwide.

Cinema & Beyond

I have worked extensively in the Telugu film industry and have directed five feature films: 
Kala, Alaa, Welcome, Swimming Pool, and Erra Gulabi.

Each film has shaped my creative vision and strengthened my understanding of cinema as both an art form and a business.

I am now fully back in films and have launched a series of micro-budget Renegade feature films in Telugu. I welcome like-minded artists, technicians, and investors to join this journey — to build meaningful cinema, create value, and achieve commercial success together.

Spirituality & Creativity

I believe that spirituality and creativity can coexist harmoniously. Embracing spirituality does not require stepping away from ambition or action.

I continue to make films, write, and create while building soulful global connections — integrating purpose, awareness, and presence into my work. This philosophy also shapes my mentorship, demonstrating that success, creativity, and inner alignment can grow together.

Mission 

I am on a mission to deliver a ₹100 Crore hit within the small-budget independent cinema space.

Make films that make money.

Let’s work together. Let’s grow together.
