Advitya Ray is a Indian storyteller—an actor, writer, director, and editor—Born in Bihar and raised in Nagpur, Advitya was always drawn to the magic of storytelling. Even as a child, he found joy in theatre—writing, directing, and performing school plays, capturing imaginations long before he ever stepped into a professional studio.
At the age of 15, Advitya picked up a camera and began creating short films with his friends. These small experiments soon turned into passionate projects, leading him to launch a YouTube channel, where he shared socially aware, heartfelt short films—all written, directed, and edited by him.
During his college years, he founded A Thespis Theatre Group, earning praise for his expressive performances and powerful storytelling on stage. His journey then brought him to Mumbai, the city of dreams, where he took a leap of faith to pursue filmmaking full-time. There, he trained at a theatre school, worked as an Assistant Director on web series, and acted in short films and music videos—continuously sharpening his craft in both front and behind the camera.
In 2022, Advitya worked on NFDC documentary ‘A Son of Himalaya’, taking on the role of Creative Director and Editor. His work stood out for its visual depth and emotional storytelling. This collaboration led him to direct a documentary series on the life and legacy of Ranjit Kapoor, the legendary writer and director. This biography, produced by Aaditrie Dipika, is a deeply respectful and artistic tribute to one of Indian theatre and cinema’s greatest minds.
Along with Aaditrie Dipika, he co-founded A18 Films, Rigel Collective, and A Thespis Theatre Group. These creative collectives focus on film, theatre, and documentary work, while also offering space and support to new storytellers and artists.
But storytelling doesn’t stop with film for Advitya. He is also an author, and his love for writing runs deep. In 2025, he published his first novel, ‘The Skull Throne of Aghor Kali’, a bold and dark mythological horror. Encouraged by Aaditrie Dipika, who recognized his gift for storytelling, he took the plunge into literature—a decision that unlocked yet another dimension of his creativity.
Through his books, Advitya invites readers into worlds that are eerie, magical, and deeply thought-provoking. His goal is simple yet powerful: to tell stories that linger in your mind long after the final page is turned.
