Meet Kishan, the 11-year-old film director

Kishan Shrikanth is only 11 years old but the boy has already directed his first film.

C/o Footpath tells the story of a slum boy, who passes class VII in nine years and class X in 10 years, without going to school.

Kishan was only nine when he made the film.

This is not Kishan's only claim to fame. He has acted in about 24 films so far, one of them being the big hit Jogi.
