Dreams Unlimited
I have known this guy from the day I stepped inside IIT. A brilliant sportsman and an equally creative person. When most of the IITians run around with resumes to get the top notch job in the final year, this guy was running around with a camera, chasing his dreams. You will hardly find an IITian who doesn't take a job and instead starts a career in film making. That too without any Godfather. Without much of resources. And he has made it. That's Rabi Kisku. He bought a video camera after borrowing money from friends. He made a small interesting video on iit life and it was the stepping stone for his film making career. He made a few ads also for NGOs. Next was the most happening stuff. A movie on IITians. There is a Five Point Someone moving around in the market. Suddenly Chetan Bhagat made the simple story of three underdog IITians popular. But making a movie with almost no resources was not child's play. To keep the budgets to minimum he went ahead with the Digital Format. The characters are the regular IITians. So you will see the real IITians in this movie. Airtel, Honeywell and AMD were the three big sponsors for the movie. But it was not as easy at it seems. There were times when he didn't have any money with him. He borrowed money from various resources. And at the middle of things, there was a cash problem. But he went ahead with the movie. Finally it has taken shape and now is due for release. Watch out for this one guys, the movie is going to be fun. Sometimes I tell him that, when he becomes a big director after a couple of films, I will make a documentary on his life ;-)
All the best dude
