New Delhi [India]October 15: Every artist’s journey begins with a spark: an inner calling that refuses to fade. For JAY HATODE, that spark was his fascination with human emotions and expressions and the power of portraying life through performance. A graduate by degree and a talented tattoo artist by profession, JAY’s life has always been defined by art and creative imagination. However, as his tattoo art flourished, a deeper passion began to take shape: a passion for acting.
A vision beyond the canvas
From his early years, JAY was fascinated by cinema, by the way actors brought characters to life, aroused emotions and created entire worlds on the screen. What started as admiration slowly transformed into determination. JAY no longer wanted to simply watch stories unfold; I wanted to be part of the narrative itself.
He soon realized that natural talent alone was not enough to become a professional actor. He believed that true excellence required training, discipline, and mentorship. With this conviction, JAY began his search for an institution that could refine his raw potential and prepare him for the professional film and television industry.
Discovering the MFI Film & TV Institute
JAY’s search was guided by the same precision and dedication that defined his tattoo art. He meticulously explored India’s leading film and acting academies, comparing training modules, teacher profiles, practical exposure and achievements of alumni. Amidst this search, one name constantly stood out: MFI Film & TV Institute, a company of Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Limited. Limited.
MFI’s holistic approach, which combines academic rigor with real-world industry exposure, immediately caught JAY’s attention. The institute’s emphasis on learning by doing, its direct connection with professional productions and the leadership of the founder and managing director, Mr. Manoj Maheshwar, gave it a distinctive identity. To understand it better, JAY, accompanied by his parents, visited the institute, a visit that would mark the course of his creative journey.
A turning point: the experience of MFIs
Upon entering MFI, JAY felt an atmosphere charged with creativity and purpose. The classrooms were packed with rehearsals, chamber sessions and dialogue workshops. The students were not just learning; they were living the art of acting.
Meeting Mr. Manoj Maheshwar turned out to be a defining moment. Their interaction extended beyond admission formalities: it became a conversation about how to act as a process of inner discovery. Mr. Maheshwar shared MFI’s philosophy of transforming enthusiasm into disciplined art through hands-on exposure and real-time mentorship.
Equally inspiring was the institute’s close association with Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Limited. Ltd., which allows students to work on ongoing film and web projects during training – a unique opportunity offered by few academies. Encouraged by this vision and supported by his parents, JAY decided to join MFI’s Advanced Acting Training Program.
Transform passion into craftsmanship
JAY’s training at MFI exceeded expectations. He soon discovered that acting was not simply about expressing dialogue or showing emotions, but about understanding the human experience. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, he studied body language, voice modulation, timing, and camera presence.
Through intensive workshops, improvisation exercises, and character analysis sessions, JAY learned to explore his emotional depth and authenticity. He especially valued MFI’s mentoring-based approach, where each student received personal guidance and constructive feedback. This nurturing environment helped JAY evolve not only as an actor but also as a more self-aware individual.
From the classroom to the camera: “SHUBH MUHURT”
JAY’s talent and dedication soon earned him significant advancement. While still training, he was selected to act in “SHUBH MUHURT”, a one-hour feature film produced by Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Limited. Limited.
Working on a professional set offered JAY first-hand experience in the film industry: understanding lighting, continuity and directing. “SHUBH MUHURT” became a defining milestone, validating his training and strengthening his resolve to pursue acting as a lifelong career.
Next Chapter: “SAAZISH – BENAQAAB”
Building on this success, JAY participated in another MFI production: the web series “SAAZISH – BENAQAAB”. The project demanded sustained emotional depth throughout the episodes, testing their adaptability and discipline. The experience refined his screen presence, taught him the balance between spontaneity and precision, and deepened his respect for the filmmaking process.
Emerging into the professional field
Today, JAY HATODE stands on the threshold of a promising acting career. With rigorous training, professional exposure and growing recognition, he has started receiving opportunities from outside production houses. His growing portfolio of films and web projects showcases his versatility and evolving artistry.
JAY attributes his transformation to the structured mentorship and exposure provided by MFI Film & TV Institute and Maheshwar Film International Pvt. Limited. Ltd. The institute, he says, turned his dream into a direction and his passion into a purpose.
A message to aspiring artists
Reflecting on his journey, JAY offers heartfelt advice to aspiring actors:
“When I joined MFI, I was passionate about it but wasn’t sure where to start. The institute gave me focus, confidence and the opportunity to work on real productions. The support of Mr. Manoj Maheshwar and the teaching staff at MFI turned my aspiration into a reality. For anyone who is serious about acting, this is where your real journey begins.”
Conclusion
From tattoo art to the silver screen, JAY HATODE’s story represents the fusion of creativity, commitment and mentorship. His journey is not only a personal triumph but also a reflection of the MFI Film & TV Institute’s mission: to nurture talent to professionalize and empower artists to express the human spirit through film.
