A THOUGHT
Anava Films is an agency-cum-production house built to take a thought all the way to the final frame. We work across creative direction, ideation, scripting, production, direction and post-production helping brands turn briefs into ideas, and ideas into films, campaigns and content.
Anava Films sits somewhere between an agency and a production house. We believe great ideas shouldn't get lost between the people who think them and the people who make them.
So we bring both sides together. You bring the thought. We build the idea, make the film and deliver the final product.

Jackson’s journey began with a B.Sc. in Animation & Multimedia, developing a deep understanding of visual storytelling, framing, pacing, and crafting worlds frame by frame.
Working across assistant direction, scripting, producing, and directing, he identified a recurring fracture in the industry: great ideas getting lost in translation between agency thinkers and on-set makers.
“A GREAT PRODUCTION STARTS MUCH BEFORE THE CAMERA STARTS ROLLING.”
As Anava expanded, Jackson’s brother Anjan Khatri joined the team as Producer to fortify the production and execution backbone of the company.
Anjan oversees the complete physical execution machinery — managing complex multi-location shoots, crew assemblies, budgeting, and high-efficiency logistical timelines.
“TURNING CREATIVE VISION INTO SEAMLESS, STRESS-FREE PRODUCTION EXECUTION.”
Together, Jackson and Anjan ensure that client ideas are both creatively groundbreaking and executively flawless.
Real feedback from clients, line producers, directors and crew.
"How Jackson and Anjan turn a one-line thought into a complete shoot deck."
"The level of preparation before shoot day makes directing seamless."
Based in Mumbai & Delhi. Working wherever the idea takes us.
You don't need a finished brief. You don't need a script. You don't even need to know exactly what the film should look like. Just give us the thought. We'll bring the ideas.
