Adwait Abhyankar is a film and photography Student based in Pune. With a background of theater direction and acting, he always thinks of film as a medium to tell stories visually from different colors of the society, for him a film should first entertain, educate, and at least start a dialogue between people. Influenced by Cinema of the greats like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, he believes that a film should be like a novel , taking the viewer step by step into a world of creation and imagination and letting them explore and imagine the film, not by feeding them everything through the protagonist but leaving a lot to their own imagination.
This film should, if anything, provoke a debate among the viewers or initiate a dialogue.
