Two
times National Award winning writer/director Manoj
Tyagi will soon direct
a Bengali Bilingual supernatural thriller film. Sakshat
has been written by Manoj and will be his second directorial venture after his
last critically acclaimed film Mumbai
Salsa. “This
is my first attempt at a bilingual and I have always been intrigued by topics of
supernatural and horror,” says Manoj. The film will be produced by Raj
Behl of Shri
Balaji Mudra Films TV & Video.
Manoj has
written many award winning films like Satta,
Page 3, Corporate, Jail and Heroine
along with Madhur
Bhandarkar, Apaharan
and many more. He has also written the story of Sudhir
Mishra’s next Inkaar
and co-written the screenplay and dialogues with Sudhir. “Storytelling
is an art for which understanding of life is very important. The core of writing
is emotions and not just mere understanding of writing,” explains Manoj.
Manoj had been
inspired to write the story of Inkaar after a conversation with a friend of his
who works as a Human Resource head in a corporate firm. His friend was tackling
a sleazy sexual harassment case at that time and this helped Manoj make a strong
foundation for a story that was liked by Sudhir a lot to make a film out of it.
“Inkaar
will stand out as a film because the audience will enter the theatre thinking
they will leave siding with one warring party, but will leave with a confusion
about which one is better than the other,” says Manoj.
