Suresh Heblikar (Kannada: ಸುರೇಶ ಹೆಬ್ಳೀಕರ) is a Kannada filmmaker, director and actor. He is also a well known environmentalist, founding the Eco-Watch NGO in 1998. He has produced many noteworthy movies in Kannada of which Kadina Benki won Best Director national award and Usha Kiran the Filmfare award. His films are known to have an offbeat theme where "passionate romance" is portrayed. This is attributed by him to a very romantic childhood.[1] His movie themes also involve psychosis and scientific temperaments — which Heblikar humbly attributes to his association with producer and psychoanalyst Dr. Ashok Pai. Being an environmentalist himself, his movies depict nature and conservation.Suresh Heblikar had his early education at Presentation Convent and Basel mission school,Dharwad.He completed his bachelor's degree from Karnatak College and post graduate degree from Karnatak University,Dharwad.
