Shayantan is an aspiring poet who wants fame and everything that comes with it, but is stuck in a 9 to 5 job to support his family. He is an ambitious person who keeps things to himself and talks only in poetry. I relate to him in the sense that the things we are most passionate about may not always earn us a livelihood and sometimes we have to do work we don’t like. However, Shayantan’s struggle is tougher than mine because I am fortunate that I get to do what I love for a living. He doesn’t have the freedom to do so and that’s his anger.”

Plays, scripts, whatever comes to mind. At that time, I just wanted to feel better about myself. During this period, one of the short films I wrote was bought by a company by paying a handsome amount. And this is where my luck shined and smiled. In a way, my foray into screenwriting began because of rejection.”
