Career
In 2002, Kapri was made an output editor of Zee News. In 2004, he moved to Star News as an Executive Producer and rose to the post of Deputy Managing Editor. In 2007, he joined India TV as a Managing editor. Kapri's debut film Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho was released on 26 June 2015. Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho is a social-political satire inspired by true incident in Rajasthan. The film stars Annu Kapoor, Om Puri and Sanjay Mishra. The story is based in Tanakpur, a village in Haryana, ruled by a power wielding 'pradhan' whose wife falls in love with a youth in the village. Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho uncovers the duplicity of society that allows powerful men to misuse the establishments to settle their own score. Pihu has a single protagonist Pihu, who is a two-year-old girl. The film is based on a true incident reported in a national daily in 2014, where a 4-year-old girl was left alone at home by the parents. The film is a social thriller by genre. Pyre is a journey of migrant workers during the first COVID lockdown. It had its world premiere at the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in the Official Competition section where it won the best film PÖFF Audience Award and won the Jury Special Mention Award in the Asian Cinema Competition section. Pyre was the opening film at the 16th Bengaluru International Film Festival.
