Maverick. Visionary. Trailblazer.
Three words you won’t find in Gaurav Dhingra’s bio because he’s too busy torching clichés to pose next to them.
Gaurav’s story doesn’t start with film school or a five-year plan. It starts with a backpack, a mountain trail, and a camera crew that needed help. At 19, he stumbled into the madness and never left. He started out assisting on shoots for iconic filmmakers. Over the years, he grew into a producer with a knack for gritty, global-facing stories, cutting his teeth on indie features, documentaries, and ambitious cross-border projects. Then came Angry Indian Goddesses, India’s first female buddy film. It stormed TIFF, sold in 70 countries, and proved Indian indies could travel.
Gaurav doesn’t do “chalta hai.” He doesn’t do templated. He’s obsessed with fresh ideas, sharp execution, and teams that turn chaos into clarity.
From executing the Indian legs of The Amazing Race for 25 years to producing the Rajasthan episode of Rennervations, Gaurav has consistently delivered on international standards and has become the go-to producer for global productions coming to India. His latest film, Stolen, premiered at Venice in 2023 and drew praise for its tension, restraint, and relentless grip. The film was acquired by Amazon Prime and is set for a global release on June 4th. At Jungle Book, Gaurav isn't chasing the kind of stories that leave burn marks.

Then came Angry Indian Goddesses, India’s first female buddy film. It stormed TIFF, sold in 70 countries, and proved Indian indies could travel. Gaurav built his rep not in studios, but in survival mode. Through Bombay’s chaos. Across global sets. Inside edit rooms that smelled like ambition and caffeine.
He doesn’t do “chalta hai.” He doesn’t do templated. What he does do is bridge worlds. He’s helped bring international productions to India, like Rennervations, where Jeremy Renner turned local spaces into community hubs, and The Amazing Race, shot across India with all its beautiful unpredictability. He’s also taken Indian stories out. Stolen, a sharp, contained thriller on child trafficking and systemic apathy, premiered at Venice in 2023 and drew global praise for its tension, restraint, and relentless grip. He’s obsessed with fresh ideas, sharp execution, and teams that turn chaos into clarity.
At JungleBook, Gaurav isn’t chasing trends. He’s chasing the kind of stories that leave burn marks.
