Editor first. Filmmaker and content creator alongside. From Kochi, based in Doha, cutting for clients anywhere.
Shambu started posting in 2014. Campus films for Onam and college tours came first, then travel films from Munnar, Sikkim, Triund and Kasol. The Goa college tour film passed 150K views on a channel with no promotion, and it taught him the thing he still works from: people stay for rhythm, not coverage.
The music videos followed. Ballaatha Jaathi for Neeraj Madhav, Dabzee and Baby Jean became a dance trend and passed 50 million views. Kalyani, the Money Verse Records hit, was re-cut with Shreya Ghoshal in 2026 and is past 300 million. Peruth Nanni, from the Kunchacko Boban film 40 Days of House Party, is the newest.
In the Gulf he shoots and cuts automotive launch films, including Rolls-Royce work in the UAE, and keeps his own Instagram going with reels from Qatar and home. Edits go out remotely to wherever the client is; shoots happen on location.
How an edit happens: every usable frame goes on the timeline before taste gets a say. The cut is built against the music, then against itself. Then conform, sound, titles, and every delivery size the platform needs. Cutdowns are cut, not cropped.
