Biography

Early life

Ilyasi was born in New Delhi, India. He post-graduated in Mass Communication in 1991 from Mass Communication Research Centre (MCRC), Jamia Millia Islamia University. After college and marriage to Anju Ilyasi, he moved to London where he started working for TV Asia as correspondent and later became a programme producer with the Asian satellite television channel based in North London.[citation needed]

Career

Ilyasi returned to India in 1996 with the concept of starting a crime-based reality TV show for Indian public broadcast. When he thought of a crime-related show on the small screen in the 1990s, no channel was ready to permit it on air. Zee TV, after some persuasion, contracted him for a 26 episodes season.

The high strike rate of India's Most Wanted (IMW) had an impact. The police departments of many states approached Ilyasi for his assistance and over a period of 6 years 135 fugives were said to be captured with the help of different TV shows Ilyasi produced for various television channels including Indian public broadcaster Doordarshan.[citation needed]

He is presently directing a movie titled 498A: The Wedding Gift, along with star cast - Haarsh Nagar, Srishti Gautam, Rima Lagu, Farida Jalal, Deepak Tijori, Alok Nath etc. While it was rumored that it story was his personal life, he has refused [1]
