Abhishek’s passion for storytelling sparked long before the pandemic, but his screenwriting journey truly began in the shadow of loss. When the world shut down and he lost his job, he turned to the one constant in his life—movies. Just as hope began to emerge, a crushing critique shattered it: “This isn’t your cup of tea,” came the feedback on his first feature script from an esteemed service.
For most, that would have been the end. For Abhishek, it was just the beginning. Rejection fueled his fire, turning doubt into determination. He traded sleep for study, swapped leisure for labor, and became consumed by the craft—writing, rewriting, perfecting every scene. Over the last few years, he has penned five shorts, but none have demanded more of his dedication than ‘A Combat of the Most Intriguing Mind’ and ‘Skirt That Bleeds.’ Even after countless revisions, he approaches each draft with the same intensity, driven to unearth deeper truths and refine every frame.
This relentless pursuit of excellence has forged a portfolio of award-winning shorts. ‘A Combat of the Most Intriguing Mind’ ranks 7th on the Coverfly Red List, while ‘Skirt That Bleeds’ has garnered attention for its emotional depth and visual power. His other works—‘Confession of a Felon Mind,’ ‘Fading Night That Swallows a Breath,’ and ‘A Mute Boy and His Three Wishes’—are equally rich with intrigue and complexity.
But Abhishek’s journey is more than ambition—it’s a fight. A battle to ensure that no rejection, no setback, will silence his voice. His stories, both visually and emotionally resonant, are born from a relentless passion that burns brighter with every challenge. As he continues developing feature scripts and pilots, his path is clear: to create stories that leave an indelible mark on audiences, no matter the obstacles ahead.
