Mishra has had a 30-year career with his work recognised by the Government of India by him receiving three National Awards from the President of India, as well as
Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government (equivalent to knighthood). He was one of the pioneers of the alternative independent cinema movement in India in the 1980s and he is one of the few directors from that era who has still managed to remain contemporary.
Early life and background[edit]
After a year and a half with Badal Sarkar, Sudhir Mishra left for Pune. In Pune, he spent time at
FTII, (Film and Television Institute of India), Pune, where his younger brother, Sudhanshu Mishra (to whom he credits to have learnt much of his cinema) was a student. Sudhir never studied at the institute himself.

He made his directorial debut with the film,
Yeh Woh Manzil To Nahin in 1987 which won the National Film Award for Best First Film of a Director.
Currently, he is in pre-production on
Mehrunissa, starring
Amitabh Bachchan,
Rishi Kapoor and
Chitrangada Singh.
[6] In August 2013, Mishra announced reworking of the script to turn it into a romantic comedy, and a new title,
Pehle Aap Janab. In the reworked script, he also started looking of younger version of the characters played by Bachchan and Kapoor, which were now set to have more prominent roles in the new version. Vipin Sharma, of
Taare Zameen Par fame, is also playing a prominent role in the movie.
