()After having spent years of blood, sweat, and tears on just writing Jahankilla, seeing it on the big screen is exhilarating, to say the least. The whole process for me was extremely personal and organic, interlaced with many personal anecdotes of civil services aspirants. My vision on paper becoming a tangible reality was a process fraught with challenges and unending twists to the story—often times stranger than the ones I created as a storyteller.
Having written multiple scripts, many of which are slated to go on the floor soon, I can say with complete certainty that Jahankilla is going to break all box office records.
There is always a risk when you act in something you write — the actor often takes over the writing. That is one thing I always refrained from. I refused to let the actor in me override the writer.
My vision found resonating energy from Howzatt Productions. We were always on the same page when it came to creating quality content. I always wanted to tell stories about youth, and this is a film that champions the power of youth, unleashing the hidden potential of contemporary youth in the hinterlands of the country. Their ambitions and aspirations for a better life for themselves are reflected in this film. National integration emerges as a constant thread throughout the film. The sacrifices and selfless service of the police, army, and all first responders often go unrecognized. So, in a way, we created our own ode to all these heroes to honor them.
This is exactly why I am positive that Jahankilla will turn out to be a commercial success countrywide.
As a writer, I can guarantee that this film will break all box office records.
