Well-known director duo Raj & DK, who have helmed such notable films as Shor in the City (2011), Go Goa Gone (2013) and A Gentleman (2017), have come forward to lend a helping hand to aspiring filmmakers. The two will help filmmakers create stories while under quarantine.
Sharing more details on their initiative, Raj informs a newswire, “We have started this initiative specially to encourage a new format of micro-storytelling. It is called D2R Indie, which will mentor, produce, present innovative works of new and aspiring filmmakers – mostly in micro-storytelling, and sometimes even longer formats.”
Adding further, the filmmaker says, “The idea is to encourage filmmakers to use this opportunity to make the most of what they have under the current circumstances. It is actually for anyone who wants to beat the blues, and find innovative ways of creating something from home or under restrictive circumstances. The micro-series is in pre-production stage while the indie film is being shot currently. The one micro-series is a wacky take on relationships, another one is a homebound adventure and the indie film is a comedy about filmmaking.”
The first micro-series produced under the banner of D2R Indie will be directed by actress Shreya Dhanwanthary. She will be making her directorial debut with the series called A Viral Wedding: Made In Lockdown.
Raj & DK have also been in news lately for a rumoured project with Shah Rukh Khan. Buzz has it that the duo is set to direct the superstar for the first time in their next directorial offering. However, all details related to the upcoming project are being kept under the wrap.
