Growing up Jain's brush with films started at an early age when he watched films while visiting his relatives in Kanker, Bilaspur, and Dhamtari. However, the real desire in him to work in Bollywood developed when he watched Sridevi in films like Himmatwala and Solva Sawan. [4] Jain who is known for directing commercially successful movies insists on not making films on other's stories. He holds the record for making maximum number of successful Chhattisgarhi films. [5]
Career
editEarly career
editSatish Jain came to Mumbai in 1984 to work in the film industry.[6] He started his career as reporter for a film magazine named Madhuri. Working there he became close to actor Suresh Oberoi who introduced him to Mukul Anand who gave him a chance to work as one of the assistant directors in the film Sultanat. His career took off when he got chance to work as an assistant director with director Kriti Kumar for the film Hatya (1988). Jain went on to write dialogue, script and screenplay for films such as Dulara (1994), Aag (1994), Apne Dam Par (1996), Rajaji (1999), and Had Kar Di Aapne (2000).[7][8] [9]
Director
editJain made his directorial debut with Mor Chhainha Bhuiyan (2000). The thought of directing a film came to Jain from the film Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000) when this film was not shaping up as the story of the film written by him. [10] As the first successful film in Chhattisgarhi cinema or Chhollywood, the film celebrated Silver Jubilee.
Jain had toured the state extensively in search for actors for his film.[11] The first chhattisgarhi film to be released after Ghar Dwar (1971), Mor Chhainha Bhuiyan is a historic film that gave birth to the Chhattisgarhi film industry. It ran for over 100 days in several theatres in the newly formed state, even pushing ahead of bollywood flicks like Mohabbatein and Mission Kashmir in the state.[12] [13]
After 23 years Satish Jain decided to make a sequel, Mor Chhainha Bhuinya 2. He returned as producer, writer, and director of the new film, which is a remake or spiritual sequel of the original movie. The film is a trendsetter for sequels in Chhollywood. [14][15]
During the 50-day celebration of the movie, the director announced the making of Mor Chhainha Bhuinya 3, and the shooting of the film is expected to start in November 2024. [16]
