Filmmaker Rushikesh Bhadane

Creating films that aim to make a difference

Filmmaker Rushikesh Bhadane is proud that he hails from Nashik — the home of the Father of Indian Cinema, Shri Dadasaheb Phalke. A swimming champion and a civil engineer by qualification, Rushikesh decided to follow his passion for cinema while pursuing Masters in Urban and Regional Planning in the US. Soon, he joined the New York Film Academy (LA Campus), and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Filmmaking.

In December 2018, the director-cinematographer-editor wrote and helmed the feature film, Rift. The multilingual movie, which has the scenic Bhandardara as its backdrop, is about a distant family coming together. Rushikesh says, “I’m happy that Marathi actor Suhas Palshikar and American actors Derek Phillips and Connor Cain have given one of their best performances in the film. The crew, which had members from across the world, made Rift possible.”


Rushikesh has also set up his own production house, Tale of Hundred Eyes Pvt. Ltd, which aims to create films on social and family-oriented topics. Settled in Los Angeles, he is currently working on multiple projects — feature films, short films, documentaries and music videos in multiple languages.
