Dhruv Sehgal

Though it wasn't his dream to write or direct or act, Sehgal was interested in listening to and narrating stories since he was a kid. "I figured th­ere's a career in it and so, I developed it into my profession," says Sehgal. Kunal happened in 2015, be­cause he wanted to make a film and entries for MAMI were open. "That pr­e­s­sure made me ma­ke the movie in my fourth year in the city. It's a representation of my time here," Sehgal concludes.
