While not making films, Judhajit, a true Bengali at heart, loves to experiment with photography, travel, explore food and spend time at home with his pet cat Elio .
Ranadeep Bhattacharyya
Ranadeep has studied from Don Bosco School Liluah and has been the All India ISC (Humanities) Topper (2001) and is recipient of the Big Leap School Achievers Award. He completed his Bachelors from Calcutta University in BSc. Geography Hons. (1st Division 1st in Geography Practicals) from Presidency College Kolkata (2004).

Raised in a sprawling Bengali joint family, Ranadeep is a bibliophile and a cinephile who in his free time can be mostly found either listening to old film songs, painting or writing poetry if not playing with his pet cat Elio.
Judhajit Bagchi & Ranadeep Bhattacharyya are internationally acclaimed filmmakers and interdisciplinary queer visual artists based in Mumbai. As co- founders of Yaannus Atelier, their work aims to tell socially relevant stories, fostering connections through art.
With academic training in film studies, visual art, meaning-making and semiotics, their collaborative artistic expression over the past decade, explores themes of freedom, desire, identity and spirituality in the context of human relationships with self and beyond. Inspired by poets and painters from the East and West alike, their visual style and storytelling influences is a delicate mix of poetic and classical on one hand and surreal and experimental on the other, often employing performative modes to unearth the ineffable, with evocative imagery at the heart of all their work.
With Yaannus Atelier, their mission is to inspire self-discovery through art, offering transformative stories that bridge differences with empathy, foster justice, peace, and harmony. They are interested in inventive and imaginative projects that show a subject matter in a new light.
With innumerable national and international accolades including National Award and Cannes Dolpin, along with Chairing as Jury of London Fashion Film Festival, their latest foray into narrative feature filmmaking with their gender fluid epic romantic drama Kal Baisakhi, they seek to entertain, connect, heal, and provoke introspection through transcending linguistic and cultural boundaries.
