A Mindful Artist with a Director’s Vision
At his core, Abeer is a storyteller. With a strong foundation in screenwriting and direction, his creative mind fuses emotion with clarity. His presence behind the camera speaks volumes, especially in his notable work on the “Mast Masala” TV commercial starring Bollywood icon Hema Malini. Wearing multiple hats as Chief Assistant Director and Executive Producer, he proved that storytelling isn’t just about script—it’s about orchestration, timing, and energy.
Abeer is currently entering a new cinematic chapter with his bilingual film Dharmavaram, shot in Tamil and Telugu. Not only has he led the film’s execution behind the scenes, but he also plays a significant role in front of the camera. This move signals his growing influence in South Indian cinema and reflects his intent to connect with diverse audiences through universal themes and powerful narratives.

Carrying the Echo of His Roots
Though now immersed in cinema’s fast lane, Abeer’s cultural foundation remains intact. Coming from Eastern Uttar Pradesh—close to Varanasi—he embodies the rich musical and storytelling traditions of the region. His artistic tone carries the warmth and rhythm of his origins, giving his work an authenticity that resonates with viewers.
His early brush with the limelight came in college when he won the Sultanpur Idol competition in 2006. Later, his Indian Idol Season 4 audition in Mumbai further revealed his emotional depth and connection to performance. These experiences planted the seeds for the expressive, multifaceted artist he has become today.
In 2022, he stepped into music video direction with Pyar Ho Gaya, produced by Panorama Music Company. The song, voiced by Abhay Jodhpurkar (who also sang for Shah Rukh Khan in Zero), marked a new creative milestone for Abeer, who managed the project as Chief Assistant Director. This collaborative effort with Tamil-Telugu filmmaker C.L. Prasad gave Abeer a deeper understanding of cross-industry storytelling.

Balancing Finance with Film
While most of his energies lie in art and direction, Abeer has also explored the intricate world of financial markets. This interest in numbers and analysis speaks to his sharp intellect and ability to navigate different fields. His ease in switching between the abstract and the concrete gives him a rare creative edge.
Yet, his emotional home is theatre. Abeer has spent years performing live, especially with Mumbai Rang Mandal. Under the mentorship of respected theatre voice Yashwant Vasanik—a disciple of Habib Tanvir—Abeer found his grounding in classical stagecraft. His theatre experiences have lent his film performances a natural depth and a deep sense of timing and emotion.

His influence recently expanded into the world of sports advertising. In May 2025, he contributed as Chief Assistant Director to a corporate video for Torrent, a major IPL sponsor. Directed by Naina Toor and featuring cricket greats like Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Jos Buttler, and Mohammed Siraj, the high-energy video connected the worlds of sport and storytelling in a unique way—showing Abeer’s growing versatility as a creative professional.
