Writers Notepad: Kamlesh Pandey talks about Mr. India 2 : Bollywood News

OK, what happens to the script after it is complete? You make a blueprint by which words are transformed, by a collaborative effort, into images and sound in film, giving birth to a screenplay. What next? Well, a producer is roped in who gets the director on board, and along with the cast and the crew makes a two hour plus movie which reaches out to the world. But lets rewind a bit here.

What is the most important part of a script? Its the first fifteen minutes or the first fifteen pages. Your script should snap, crackle, and pop on page one! Start with the story in motion, and that scene should foreshadow the story and the ending, which leads you to the second and the last most important part of the script - The penultimate fifteen minutes or the last fifteen pages.

We at Bollywood Hungama have always believed that writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove; you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain. Some write to earn their living while the others live to write. Its bizarre but its true, that writing is not a selling tool but its a telling tool and we strongly support that.

For the first time ever, Bollywood Hungama and its London correspondent, Devansh Patel brings you Writers Note Pad - Four diverse writers and their One ambitious project, a special series which will run for next four weeks, where we will bring you the story behind the writing of the scripts of these four highly anticipated Bollywood projects.

As a four week special, today we bring a writer par excellence - Kamlesh Pandey, who talks about his most ambitious film to arrive in the near future because he believes, Good writing can change minds, and great writing can change the world.
