Anil P. Bajaj was born in Bombay, India to Bindoo and Prabhu Bajaj, from Tamil Nadu
and Shikarpur, Pakistan, respectively. Hailing from a middle-class family, his parents
encouraged him to be a doctor or engineer; but by 8 years of age, he was inspired by a
man sitting behind a camera directing actors on camera, making movie magic.
Bajaj attended the Film and Television Institute of India where he studied both directing and acting, including the Stanislavsky Method and Roshan Taneja School of Acting. He then worked for 7 years as an assistant with various accomplished directors all over India.
In 1990, he embarked on his journey to America. Unable to pursue his dream of filmmaking in the beginning, he started various businesses in New Orleans, Louisiana, until one day Katrina hit, and his businesses were looted. He lost everything.
This gave him the inspiration to finally pursue his true passion. He won roles in several films and in 2012, wrote his first film: The Last Fare. These were followed by Timely The deal, Hey Where You At?, and The Beggar's Curse, all of which were produced in 2021 and feature Bajaj's skills in acting, writing, and directing. Suicide, House Arrest, Comprise Verdict and Jars of Happiness are among the current ones that are in pre- production stages.
His favorite directors are David Mamet, Brian de Palma, Satyajit Ray, Sydney Lumet and Alfred Hitchcock, from whom he draws inspiration for limited locations with the depth of feeling and the intense exploration of relationships.
Bajaj's films are often created with the purpose of public awareness, but he is also known for his passionate style of directing where he takes his actors through the emotional roller coaster experience of their characters. He has a style that has his actors feeling every nuanced emotion while still being comfortable in front of the camera.
His Indian heritage and experience often shows through the Bollywood-Esque emotional component in his films, but his unique passion comes from living much of his adult life in America, which results in his Hollywood-Bollywood fusion of artistic style.
In addition to writing and directing, Bajaj speaks 7 languages and understands 11, which usually gives him an edge as an actor and director. He is greatly inspired by Mother Theresa and her paramount value of living a kind life. For Bajaj, "Art moves people, and people elevate the art - only with kindness."
