His film Dhoosarit (The Gray) is available on major digital platforms like Amazon and MX Player. Based in Chhattisgarh, India, he continues to create thought-provoking work.

Waghela’s art is shaped by atheism, nihilism, and a scientific approach to reality, questioning perception, truth, and knowledge in a world entangled with ideologies and propaganda.

His work challenges established narratives, dissecting human conditioning and the fragile boundaries between reality and illusion.
