Nine Star Films

Our place is on the first floor at H 17 on Vikas Marg. It’s pretty easy to spot because we are right near the Raymond showroom in Lakshmi Nagar. Being on Vikas Marg means there’s constant traffic and people walking by, which is just part of the daily life here at Nine Star Films. We spend most of our time inside, working on edits or planning out the next shoot. It’s a bit of a lived-in space, with cables sometimes running across the floor and plenty of coffee cups on the desks. We aren't trying to be some big-shot studio from the movies, we’re just a local crew that knows how to handle a camera and put a story together. Lakshmi Nagar is a gritty, hardworking neighborhood and we fit right in. The office isn't huge, but it's where all the ideas happen. We’ve been here for a while now, and we know the tea stall downstairs and the shortcuts through the back lanes. It’s not always glamorous work. A lot of it is just sitting in front of screens or making phone calls to find the right equipment. But we like it. Being near that Raymond showroom is a good landmark for people who haven't visited us before. We just keep our heads down and focus on the films we’re making, trying to keep things simple and honest throughout the whole process.
