Director Statement

Myself Monaksh N. Kanirkar – director, writer and producer of “MEGHNAA 1.1” Short film. Even though we had just a fraction of budget for this film we did best we could and did manage to make it feel like an Indian Commercial Film / Bollywood Film.

Ai is a trending subject and we tried to "Fuse" Ai subject with James Cameron’s Terminator vibe – making a Sci-fi Crime Thriller. My AI's direct influence is inspired from "Her"(2013) of Scarlett Johansson's portrayal of AI voice but the main twist here is making an Ai "autonomous" - re-write it's own code and learn human behavior pattern but in the story Ai not just learnt human emotions but also the Human's dark side - their sins. I added more "tadka" in story by trying to combine this sci-fi genre with crime and violence - "Gangs of Wasseypur" style.

The proven concept and trending subject of Ai really grabs the audience. I also got inspired from Christopher Nolan’s first feature film in 1998 – “Following” to make it Cross Interrogation base of story with cross cutting with crime .

I hope our film will appeal the audience and gets premiered on big screens and awarded in various prestigious film festivals across India as well as International Film Festival.
