Dr. Shailesh Proves That Even A Medical Practitioner Can Be A Filmmaker

And once again it is proven that nothing is impossible in this world. It may seem strange when a medical professional, who is doing very well in his field, decides to plunge into filmmaking. The man behind the upcoming suspense thriller 6ne Maili, Dr BN Shailesh Kumar, is launching his production house — Sri Nagabhrama Creations. And the professional is also busy setting up his own hospital.

Dr Shailesh, with teary eyes, said, “My father expired when I was in Class 9 due to kidney failure, which we failed to realise as there was no money in the house to run any tests. Even taking his mortal remains back to our village in Harihar was a struggle owing to our financial status. My mother, who still lives with me, was all set to take me and my siblings back to our village, but there were several good Samaritans, including the principal of my school, the owner of the house we stayed in, etc., who came to our assistance at crucial junctures. Over the years, there have been many others who chipped in when I needed tuition fees or money to eat a meal, without whom I would have never gotten to where I am today”.

See Ni-directed 6ne Maili, which is his debut film, is the second script he ever heard. “The first would have been with a star kid, but the atmosphere was not conducive for me to go ahead with that project, as there was a lot of interference from that family. Eventually, when I heard See Ni’s narration, I was floored by the subject, because it aligned with the agenda of my foundation to create awareness, and because it had National Award winner Sanchari Vijay headlining the cast,” he says.

He is now looking forward to making that are commercially viable, yet have socially-relevant messages, while also continuing the good work with his foundation.
