The Story Of A Story has been officially selected at the prestigious film festival- Riverside International Film Festival, California (USA). It has also been officially selected at The Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival. About the story of the story, Jasraj shares, “ It is a seven minutes black and white film about the struggles of a writer who wants to get a story published about an Indian army officer who was killed in the India-Pakistan Kargil war.” As to how the idea came to Jasraj, he fondly takes a trip down the memory lane. “I came across the story literally on a piece of paper, which was present in my father’s file, which contained all his lectures that he used to give at Mad Arts. I was memesrised by the beautiful story that my father had apparently never discussed with me,” adds Jasraj who looks at it as a coincidence that it came his way. Adds Jasraj, “The film is a tribute from me to him.” The film stars Savita Bhatti, Sachin Sharma, Anoop Sharma, Brijesh Ahuja and Surilie Jasraj Singh.
