Biography and Career :

Nelliattu C. Shyamalan and Jeyalakshmi are his parents and they are a physician and an obstetrician and gynecologist. He had spent his childhood in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania.

The semiautobiographical drama "Praying with Anger" was his debut film. In 1995 he came out with "Wide Awake", but it was released only after three years. He is also the person who wrote the screenplay for "Stuart Little".

Quotes :

- "I have this whole picture of the film in my head and then I put it all down on paper and storyboard it, showing the movie shot by shot. I like to feel that I have thought of everything before the camera starts rolling, but I think that's probably my asset and weakness as a filmmaker."

- "The idea is to always go for the thing that's risky. I want to be courageous and original."
