Purandare Mithun

I am an actor, filmmaker, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience across Mumbai, Goa, and London. A former Prithvi Theatre practitioner and Mr. India runner-up, I bridge commercial cinema with independent storytelling. My notable acting credits include Excel Entertainment’s theatrical hit Madgaon Express, Sony LIV’s thriller series KanKhajura, and Ram Gopal Varma’s Dangerous. As a director, I recently achieved picture lock on my debut feature film. It is a high-concept, creator-driven social media survival story exploring the psychological stakes of going live. Operating outside studio backing, I integrated cutting-edge AI tools to build 10 minutes of animation and collaborated with a 35-person crew. The film is currently in final post-production (DI and 5.1 mix) for festivals. My performance in this cut led filmmaker Nitish Pires to cast me as the lead in his upcoming road film, Tila Gad, releasing in December 2026.Beyond cinema, I am the co-founder of Aliaum, an exclusive resort-wear fashion brand based in Assagao, Goa, worn by global celebrities like Kajol and Sushmita Sen. Basing myself in Goa allows me to avoid industry gatekeepers and create with absolute clarity. My philosophy is simple: Mumbai teaches you how to hustle; Goa teaches you how to find clarity. In Mumbai, you wait in line. In Goa, you build your own set.
