Suparn Verma wears many hats.
He is a director, screenwriter and dialogue writer.
In 2002, Suparn made his foray into Bollywood as a screenwriter for the Hansal Mehta-directorial Chhal. They continued their partnership with another film in the same year, titled Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai?, which was loosely based on the English film series American Pie.
In 2005, he turned director with Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena starring Fardeen Khan and Feroz Khan.
Suparn has a writer's credit for many Bollywood thrillers like Zameen (2003) and Qayamat: City Under Threat (2003), and Karam (2005).
Fast forward to 2021, Suparn created his best shot in Amazon Prime Video's The Family Man 2, which he co-directed with showrunner duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. The dynamic space of OTT gave the writer-director his well-deserved footing in the world of storytelling.
Suparn is back with the Web series Rana Naidu, starring Venkatesh Daggubati and Rana Daggubati. The first time the uncle-nephew duo is sharing screen space.
The Netflix show is an Indianised version of the American Web series Ray Donovan. Set in Mumbai, Rana Naidu is an action drama centered around the volatile relationship of father-son played by the Daggubatis. Suparn shares directorial responsibilities with Karun Anshuman, the creator of the show.
Talking about their spin on the original show, "The original first season of Ray Donovan came over a decade ago. So we were now changing it for modern sensibilities, which gave us more freedom and flexibility. But we didn't want to stray far into a different terrain either. To keep all the drama and emotion intact and make it into a mass entertainer was a challenge because that's what we are going after."
