We all have dreams and to achieve it working hard is the only option.Such is a story of an upcoming film maker and cinematographer from Gujarat, India and now pursuing his dream to become a face in Hollywood.

Vraj Kaniyawala, who hails from a small city of Surat, India - always had a dream to be a part of cinema and film making, but life was not easy for him. After getting admission for engineering and planning to get into film making was not easy and so was it to convince his parents. But he did it and finally went to Los Angeles, California to achieve his dream.

Vraj says "Movies have always inspired me some way or the other, be it Bollywood or hollywood.  And movies specially like Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire and Christopher Nolan's Inception inspired me to be a film maker, and not just hollywood movies but also bollywood movies like Lagaan, Dangal and almost every Nitesh Tiwari films makes me feel that I was born to be a part of cinema".

While sharing his experience of being in LA, California so far he says, "When I came to Los Angeles, everything was new for me here and I didn't knew anyone here but slowly and steadily, I overcame this and found out that people here are actually very helpful,  and I have never faced any kind of bad attitude or negativity from anyone ever." He concludes

The young film maker feels that be it hindi movies or international cinema, the language changes but the emotions remain the same. Always.
