I'm Sol Kohli, an award-winning film director passionate about telling compelling stories across film, television, and digital platforms.

​

My recent directing work includes Test Subject V for JioHotstar, Dillogical for Amazon MiniTV, and Love Ek Tarffa, produced by Ekta Kapoor and releasing soon. Whether I'm directing a high-concept series, a commercial, or developing an original idea, my focus is always on creating emotionally engaging, visually distinctive stories.

 

My journey began at Kailash Picture Company, where I worked as an Assistant Director on more than 30 television commercials under legendary ad filmmaker Kailash Surendranath. I later joined MAD Films, where I spent several years working on over 100 commercials alongside some of India's and the world's leading directors, including François Merlet, Marco Kalantari, Nikhil Advani, and Shaad Ali. Those years gave me an invaluable foundation in storytelling, visual craft, and large-scale production.

 

To further develop my filmmaking voice, I moved to Los Angeles and earned a Master's Degree in Filmmaking from the New York Film Academy (NYFA).

 

Over the years, I've worked across a wide range of productions, including The Gone Game Season 2 and Apharan Season 2 as Second Unit Director,

 

along with popular TV shows I directed such as Intern Diaries, MTV Big F, MTV Webbed, MTV Fanaah, Bindass Yeh Hai Aashiqui, Twist Wala Love, Mastangi, and Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, in addition to directing numerous commercial campaigns for leading national and international brands.

​

Alongside commissioned work, I continue to develop and pitch original film and series concepts for leading OTT platforms. I'm always looking for stories that entertain, challenge perspectives, and leave a lasting impact.

 

If you're looking for a director who combines cinematic storytelling with strong execution, I'd love to collaborate.
