Satish Jain is an Indian film writer and director who has worked mainly in the Chhattisgarhi, Bhojpuri and Hindi film industries. He made his debut as a director with the Chhattisgarhi movie Mor Chhainha Bhuinya in 2000.[1] He is fondly called the Manmohan Desai of Chhollywood.[2] He has also been honourned in 2021 for his contribution to Chhattisgarhi cinema.[3]
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]
