Click to play videoMumbai: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, Shriram Raghvan and writer Anjum Rajabali are looking for new ideas and stories that can be made into feature films. And they've come together for a project titled Sankalan.
Funded by Mahindra Entertainment, Sankalan will work like a script lab and shortlist 24 best entries, which will eventually be narrowed down to the final three.
“I am looking for anything that I can’t write, I am looking for anything that I have never written or I have never heard of. I am looking for anything new or new take on anything I already know,” Kashyap says.
Raghavan adds, “Obviously it is not genre specific. It can be anything. There are enough people like Anurag, Anjum and me — all with three different kinds of sensibilities yet we have something common. So it need not be genre specific. It can be a love story but it has to be a good subject.”
And what’s more? — There is a stipend at every level. Writer Anjum Rajabli feels it's a first of sorts and it will give the much-needed boost to screen writing in india.
“There has been a rush for good stories and scripts. The industry has suddenly woken up to the fact that in all other department we have developed almost to international level, but it’s only the scriptwriting department which is falling back and without that nothing else can be done,” Rajabali explains.
So, if you think you’ve got what they’re looking for, start writing and log onto www.baiscopeent.com/sankalan for more details.
