The debutant director who sets off for an example of believing in oneself was an art director for films like Black, Waqt, Pyar Ke Side Effects and Saawariya. Where one chooses for a commercial film at the initial stage, Omung for whom the direction was a leap of faith chose for a biopic. The first time director was thrilled with the audience response for his debut directorial movie, Mary Kom. The movie featured Priyanka Chopra playing the role of five-times female World Boxing Champion and Olympic bronze medalist Mary Kom. Biographical films are quiet a task to justify, but Omung did it brilliantly. The was critically acclaimed and was a commercial hit as well.
