Sanoj Mishra (born August 11, 1977) is an Indian film director and screenwriter working in Bollywood. He is known for films such as Gandhigiri, Ram Ki Janmabhoomi, and The Diary of West Bengal.[1]
Early Life and Background
Sanoj Mishra was born and raised in Haidergarh, Barabanki district, Uttar Pradesh. He holds a master's degree in sociology from Shia PG College, Lucknow.
Career
Mishra's career in the film industry began in Mumbai. He started as a spot boy on film sets, gaining experience and learning the craft of filmmaking. He also worked as an assistant on several films and served as a personal assistant to actor Nirmal Pandey. Prior to directing Hindi feature films, Mishra directed some regional films.
His directorial debut in Hindi cinema was with Betaab (2014). Subsequent directorial efforts include Gandhigiri (2016), Ram Ki Janmabhoomi (2019), Lafange Nawab (2019), Srinagar (2022), Ghaznavi (2023), Shashank (2023), and The Diary of West Bengal (2024). He has also served as writer on several of his films.
Ram Ki Janmabhoomi, which revolves around the Ram Mandir issue, faced a legal challenge prior to its release. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court of India seeking to stall the film's release, claiming it would interfere with ongoing mediation in the Ayodhya land dispute case. The Supreme Court ultimately refused to stay the release, stating there was no connection between the mediation and the film. The film also faced a fatwa issued by the All India Ulama Board.[2]
The Diary of West Bengal, which deals with alleged forced conversions, sparked controversy and led to an FIR being filed against Mishra. Kolkata Police summoned Mishra for questioning in connection with the film. Mishra stated that the film is based on well-researched facts.[3]
