Through the process of making this film I realized the power of spontaneity; it makes even the smallest moments alive and truthful Ask him about associating with Shruti Haasan and Isidro Media and he says, Its almost surreal when I think of how this happened.

It can be content across various formats just as long as they further the creative process and make it possible for people to experience world class storytelling. When we saw The Mosquito Philosophy and after having seen JPs last works especially his much acclaimed film Lens , we knew we had found the right person to associate with. He has a very edgy vision to creatively showcase even the simplest stories. Its fantastic to work with someone who is courageous in offering new content that challenges conventional thinking.

Approximately a month back, there were reports that former actress Vijeta Pandit and music directors Jatin-Lalit's sister, Sandhya, had gone missing. It was then that Sandhya's husband Jayprakash had announced a reward of Rs. 50,000 for anyone with details on the whereabouts of his missing wife.

Now we hear that, Jayprakash has increased the reward money from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 5 lakh to anybody willing to provide information on the whereabouts of Sandhya. While on the other hand, Vijeta expresses her fears that her sister might have been kidnapped for her jewellery.

Apparently, Sandhya had disappeared after coming out of a bank, when she had got into a rickshaw. The rickshaw driver is yet to be traced.
