About K

I'm a credited writer, with one of my screenplays, "VOID" been made into a film. VOID, a psychological thriller, driven by a female protagonist is available on Vimeo on Demand. The story unravels in India but is relevant whether it is in Berlin, Budapest, Bucharest, or Boston.

My other screenplay is in the reckoning, set along the US West Coast involving several boxing scenes and extreme martial arts. A L. A. producer had commissioned me to write this screenplay, and had even talked to Richard Gere, for the protagonist's role. But the project has not gone steamed ahead, for a few reasons. I have the rights to the script and am looking for a buyer for this.

My other project is a woman-centric story set in India with a global perspective. I am reworking the screenplay after subjecting this to a professional script review.

I have several other screenplays that are in various stages of pitches in Bollywood. These include psychological, intellectual horror, mental health, human drama, adaptations, and biopic genres.

I have ghostwritten six screenplays and 10 books (one novel and the others nonfiction) over these last 24 months. This experience has not only helped me to hone my skills in writing, but to also stay relevant to my trade.

I am interested in music of all genres and ages, travel, ancient cultures, explorations, adventure, history, geography, global customs, languages, cuisines, and literature. I'm well-traveled, having worked in India, the Middle East, Europe, the UK, the USA and the Far East.

I would be happy to collaborate with Stage 32 screenwriters on screenplays that germinate and breed on research, originality, and creativity. I believe my project management background at IBM has helped me to work on my writing, with more a goal-driven and planned approach.

Unique traits: I want to infuse what I learned as a Project Manager, Delivery Manager and technical writer, into screenplay development. I will adopt the same professionalism to plan, track, deliver, and collaborate with others.
