Kamal Sadanah, a filmmaker with a rich family heritage, took his first steps on the sets of his father's film shoot as an infant. His father, Brij Sadanah, made a lasting impact on the film industry in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with notable films such as "Victoriano", "Chori Mera Kaam", "Yeh Raat Phir Na Ayegi", and "Professor Pyarelal". Kamal's mother, Sayeeda Khan, was also an actress in Bollywood films during the mid-1960s.
Kamal's early start in the film industry was marked by assisting directors like Ajay Goel and Sukhwant Dhadda, a national award recipient. By the age of 19, he was actively handling the production department of his father's home production and serving as the first assistant director for another director. His journey as an actor began with Rahul Rawail's "Bekhudi" opposite Kajol, followed by roles in films like "Rang", "Bali Umar Ko Salam", and "Fauj".
As a student of cinema, Kamal soon transitioned to becoming a storyteller, directing his first independent film, "Karkash". Although its exhibitory run was limited to film festivals, it paved the way for Kamal to chart his career in the film industry. He then produced a remake of his father's film, "Victoria no. 203", which, although it did not fare well at the box office, ensured that Kamal would continue to make a name for himself in the business.
Kamal went on to refine his skills by studying the technical aspects of filmmaking and taking courses at the New York Film Academy and a specialized course in visual effects. He eventually joined forces with his childhood friend, Abis Rizvi, to create the 2014 film "Roar - Tigers of the Sundarbans", a project that featured over 800 shots in visual effects, locations in four countries, and an international crew of 150. The film's central character was the Royal Bengal Tiger, and Kamal described the experience as "the most challenging and fulfilling journey of my life".
