Soman Priyadarshan Nair started his career from Malayalam movies in 1984. He gave several hits there. He then tried his hands in Hindi movies. His First Hindi movie was \'Muskurahat\' in 1992 which failed to do well. Then in 1993, he made \'Gardish\'. After that he remained busy with his south projects. In 1997, he came back with \'Virasat\' starring Anil Kapoor and Tabu. The film brought him his first Hindi film success. After that he directed various movies like \'Saat Rang Ke Sapne\', \'Doli Saja Ke Rakhna\' etc. But it was his 2000 movie \'Hera Pheri\' which got him much acclamation in Hindi Film Industry.
