Anirudhya is a bestselling author and screenwriter who has spent over two decades chasing and shaping stories that make people stop, watch, and talk.

Already a bestseller, his new book THE DELHI DIRECTIVE is a powerful espionage thriller about India’s covert war against a superpower. It offers a definitive account of how India took down terrorists on Western soil…a truth so sensitive that it had to be told through fiction.

Before this came The Enforcer, the real-life policing thriller on IPS Prashant Kumar. The book is making waves across platforms, reviewed by top podcast hosts and earning a 100% five-star rating on Amazon and Goodreads and in major publications.

Earlier, his book 90 DAYS: The True Story of the Hunt for Rajiv Gandhi’s Assassins became a national bestseller and was adapted by SonyLIV as The Hunt, directed by Nagesh Kukunoor and produced by Applause Entertainment.

With every book, he is moving deeper into the world of espionage, intelligence operations, and geopolitics. His long-term dream is to follow the storytelling tradition of John le Carré, Robert Ludlum, and Frederick Forsyth, and build high-stakes thrillers rooted in research, realism, and emotion.

His writing spans espionage, psychological thrillers, political drama, true crime, love stories, and human-interest narratives. He has written a series for Ajay Devgan Films and FreshLime Films of Maidan fame, and another for Amazon. He also wrote Tahaan, directed by Santosh Sivan, which won Best Film at the London Film Festival.

Earlier, he created and produced India’s No. 1 action series Sea Hawks for UTV, featuring Om Puri, Madhavan, Milind Soman, and Niki Aneja. The show marked Anubhav Sinha’s debut and redefined action television.

He also spent 12 years in Indonesia, co-producing landmark films including Habibie & Ainun (Indonesia’s all-time blockbuster), Merry Riana, and Di Bawah Lindungan Ka’bah (Indonesia’s Oscars entry, 2012).

His roots are in investigative journalism with India Today and The Times of India, where he broke defining stories; from the Rajiv Gandhi assassination and Bofors deal to the BCCI bank scam, drug wars in Asia, and the Pamella Bordes affair.

Whether it’s a book, a show, or a film, he create stories that travel and generate value. If you want cinematic storytelling with emotional and commercial impact, he is always open to collaborate.
