Dear Kumud

The reason behind writing this story was that sometimes people are unable to move on from the situation and they become victims of mental illness. Girish's story is also similar, after Kumud's death he is unable to accept that reality and he gets stuck in trauma.

I wrote this film in August 2021, but I needed a good team to make this film. Who can understand the spirit of the film and can give his 100% in completing it.

I was new to Delhi and in all seriousness I was also not fully prepared to make this film. But when I started meeting Vaibhav Bhaiya in connection with work, he told me that he would make a film, then I told him the script of "Dear kumud".

The film was to start in February 2022, but due to being associated with the theatre, it got postponed till August 2022. We took advantage of the postponement of this film that we added more people with us and wrote the script and narration in a better way.

It was a lot of fun working with this crew as everyone was in the same band 🙊 and had an eagerness to learn.

This film will always be special to me because this story is very close to my heart, and this is my first film which I have made for the film festival.

We had some delays creating this film because we did not have the budget for this film, due to this we thought many times that we should shoot this film with the phone itself, but the quality of the phone was not satisfying us.
