  • Abhigyan Jha is best known as the director of the film Sacred Evil, as well as the executive producer, creative director, and script editor of the popular Indian Late Night Show Movers and Shakers. He also wrote the novel November Rain in December 1993, published by Abhigyan and Mrinal under the imprint 'Utopia'. Based on an incident of reincarnation that he experienced, the story led Zee Television to convert it into an episodic primetime television series called Tum Bin Jaoon Kahan, which aired on India's national television in 2003-2004. Abhigyan has since been writing stories and screenplays for both Indian and international media. One of his novels, The Prayer, will be converted into an international movie, ahead of its publication as a fictional book. Abhigyan and his wife, Mrinal, have restarted their publishing imprint as Undercover Utopia and plan to do six books in the very first year. Two very popular books from Undercover Utopia have also been nominated for the prestigious ‘Golden Quill’ awards: Dear Popples, nominated in the fiction category along with Amitabh Ghosh, Chetan Bhagat and others, and For The Class of 2010, nominated in the non-fiction category along with Nadan Nilekani's Imagining India. Abhigyan is also the creative head and director of Jay Hind! - the 1st ever TV show made exclusively for the internet platform. It is also India's 1st late night stand up comedy show on the internet. The show has been conceptualised by Undercover Productions, a boutique production house founded by Mrinal and Abhigyan. Abhigyan’s is the same team that made one of the most successful shows on Asian television, Movers & Shakers, featuring Shekhar Suman. Abhigyan was the executive producer and creative director of the same. Now Abhigyan and Mrinal have come up with this yet another scintillating late night stand up comedy show. This show has versatile actor Sumeet Raghavan (of Ghar Ki Baat and Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai fame) as the anchor. The show along with its title track has a take on almost everything that is making news in the world and India in general. Since the show is based on the current trends, topics and news; it has struck a chord with the common man and has already crossed 1 million viewers within a fortnight of its launch. The show is definitely very funny and beats anything that goes by the term ‘funny’ currently on air. Jay Hind! is about another kind of discovery of India that takes a deep look at the heart of the country and comes out laughing. It is also a celebration of the India that's coming - a strong, proud India that doesn't mind laughing at its ironies and follies.
