He might just be 12, but he has more cinematic success than many older professionals. Meet Kishan Shrikant, who's in the Guinness Book for being the world's youngest director. And the icing on the cake? He's just bagged 3 awards at the Cairo International Film Festival for his film on street children.
While most children his age spend time watching movies, 12-year-old Kishan Shrikanth of Bangalore prefers to call the shots from behind the camera.
The Guinness book of records calls him the youngest movie director. Kishan's feature film Care of Footpath has now bagged 3 awards at the Cairo International Film Festival.
The film won the Children's Jury Award, the Special International Jury's Award and a third special achievement award.
In the past such awards have been given to superstars such as Amitabh Bachchan.
It’s a proud moment for me as an Indian that Kishan Shrikant was recognized by Guinness Book as the youngest director. I saw this news on NDTV 24x7. This news channel provides the best coverage of India related news stories for NRIs. DirecTV brings this news channel to the US.
