Shakun Batra Career

Batra entered the film industry working as a side actor in the movie “Don: The Chase Begins Again”, and then moved on to become an assistant director on films like Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008) and Rock On!! (2008), while starring in the former as Nilesh, a minor character.

He made his directorial and screenwriting debut with the romantic comedy Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012), which was produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. Rachel Saltz of The New York Times commented, "The happy surprise of Ek Main aur Ekk Tu is that it's not crude, sniggering or vindictive. Instead it's rather sweet and sometimes even a little unexpected."

Batra's next film was the family drama Kapoor & Sons (2016). Writing for The Hindu, Namrata Joshi said that the film "keeps you riveted as you move from one family fight to another" and praised Batra for giving "a refreshing new voice to an old, tried and tested trope."

Batra's next movie was a romantic drama that revolves around two couples. Two of the characters were played by Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi. The movie was expected to go on floors in March 2020. He also turns producer with this movie. Titled as Gehraiyaan it was initially slated to premiere directly on Amazon Prime Video on 25 January 2021. The movie finally released on Amazon Prime on 11 February 2022.
