“I wanted to do something different. The idea to make a short film came to me from a few true incidents that took place in Mumbai. I thought it would make for an interesting subject. It’s a quirky comedy, but it is also dark at the same time,” says Ssharad, who has been acting for over 10 years now.

Prateek, who shares a wonderful rapport with Ssharad says that they are almost like family. “Ssharad was the main lead in my film, From Sydney With Love (2012). Since then we have developed a brotherly bond. We have seen the miseries of our fall together and helped each other grow in our own space.”
