Gajendra, the founder of Balax Films, has had a remarkable career in education, experience and leadership. Gajendra’s expertise in digital technology has been developed in the US and in India over the last two decades. Prior to establishing Balax, Gajendra pursued a full-time career in digital technology and established Maya Creations, a digital technology firm for television production, in Hyderabad in 1995. He formally began as a film-maker in 2005 and has devoted the last few years towards gaining a holistic understanding of the film-making process by drawing on the best insights from the US and India. Gajendra also gained valuable Bollywood directorial experience working as an assistant director to Mr. Goyal before shifting his focus to his directorial debut. He has a degree from Osmania University, Hyderabad and a management degree in Personal Management from XISS, Ranchi. Following the release of Kyu Tension, Gajendra’s next big venture will be “Ek Taxi Driver”, a gripping melodrama about dreams, expectations and ambitions, and an earnest plea for social harmony.

It was after ten years in theatre, getting 1st hand experience, and tips (bad habits) from well meaning, wonderful veterans of the stage, that I began to ask myself, ‘how can I learn to be a better actor, a great actor?' What do the stars know that makes them so dynamic, natural, and charismatic? In pursuit of this knowledge I moved to California. I attended acting classes
throughout the Bay Area, which I found to be largely a waste of time and money. I also studied method training for five years and learned a good deal; to laugh, scream, cry, and feel angry, but not a process by which I could apply it. As a member of Screen Actors Guild I supplemented my income to keep learning. During the filming of Mrs. Doubtfire, ( as a stand-in for Robin Williams).
I asked Mr. Williams, "How do you work? What is your method or process?" He said "I just have fun." Gary Oldman told me the same thing, As an actor, I have, and continue getting experience, am confident in my understanding of the craft and feel I can impart to an actor, a process for how to work authentically, dynamically and with charisma.
