About

Purple Vishnu Films was founded by Sainath Choudhury after a long career in advertising, working with creative powerhouses in India like Contract, JWT and Ogilvy, followed by a stint with DDB in the Middle East. In early 2003, Sainath decided to throw it all up for films, and Purple Vishnu was launched in 2011.

'Purple Vishnu' signifies a constant state of creation, much like our universe that is in a state of constant churn. We take ideas from nothingness to reality, working in a space without barriers, with a team of passionate filmmakers. Purple Vishnu Films is a full fledged production house that aims to provide clients with distinct and visionary work across the ever-evolving landscape of entertainment and branding.
