Dwivedi's other major work is the film Pinjar, a tragic love story set amidst the Hindu-Muslim tensions during the Partition of India, based on Amrita Pritam's novel of the same name. Dwivedi has also directed the serial Mrityunjay which is based on the life of Karna, a major character from the epic Mahabharata, and he won a Best Director award for the same. Dwivedi is a qualified medical professional who gave up his profession because of a deep interest in Indian literature, and began working in theater instead. In the late 1990s, he held the position of programming division head at Zee TV. During his stint at Zee, he tried his hand at retelling the Mahabhatara but had to abort the experiment. In February 2008, Bobby Bedi announced that he had been planning a new Mahabharata with Dwivedi as director. However, in April, Dwivedi disassociated himself from the project citing pressure brought on as a result of competition from Ekta Kapoor's Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki. Dwivedi is presently working on a television serial titled Upanishad Ganga.
