Musician, producer and entrepreneur Mukul Deora is a renowned name in the art and entertainment industry. He has impressed the global audience not only with his unique musical skills but also his interest in recognising and backing forms of arts. He has recently produced Netflix’s The White Tiger, a movie based on the prize-winning novel by Aravind Adiga. It is yet another feat in his career. Deora started his journey by writing, composing and producing his album Stray in 2006.

Mukul said, “I have spent most of my life channelling my disparate influences into creating things that hopefully travel all over the world, and will continue to do so. After The White Tiger released, I got so many mails from film-makers, writers, actors from all over the world who couldn’t believe that someone in India could make such a film. For me, it would be nice to just carry on this thing and make people in any part of the world believe that they can make a global movie based on a specific story from their country and that it can have these wings to take over the world.”
