He has worked intensely in the entertainment industry since 2014. His love for the performing arts has led him to work across an extensive range of projects in Theatre, Feature Films and on Television.

Greed
(
Film
by Jon-Claire Lee
John GREED tells the story of an Indian man who gets deeper and deeper involved in the Australian gangland underworld. He only wants to get enough money to go back to homeland to rescue his parents from abject poverty, but is forced to make increasing difficult decisions that go against what's left of his conscience. How far is too far when one tries to reach his noble goal? GREED is an epic film tribute to Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, a story of family relationships, intrigues and betrayals set against a violent world where nothing is legal, but where everything is possible.
