ANUSHKA IMAGES PVT. LTD. The Dreams that Dare

Nearly thirteen years ago, a Sparkle sprouted on the vast horizon of Film & Television, in Mumbai. It was a dream that glowed with the hopes and aspirations of Shashi Ranjan, an alumnus from the illustrious Film & TV Institute of India, Pune. This nascent Dream was - Anushka Images.

And it came into being when Shashi Ranjan gathered like-minded & trained talent from the FTII & with them, set out to realise the aims & visions that were higher than heavens, in the genre of Entertainment.

Together, they sought to break fresh grounds, blaze newer trails, continuing relentlessly to raise the bar with each project of theirs. That is how this tiny sparkle called Anushka Images went on to acquiring Solar proportions and dimensions, in course of time.

As a natural corollary to that, a body of work flowed (and continues to flow) like a cascade from Anushka Images… projects that are marked by conspicuous excellence:
