Perhaps one of the largest events in India’s writing world, the 3rd Indian Screenwriters Conference will commence today, and over the next two days, is expected to host nearly 800 screenwriters and writer-directors. From giants like Javed Akhtar, Gulzar, Ashutosh Gowariker, Govind Nihalani, Rakeysh Mehra to young talent including Juhi Chaturvedi (Vicky Donor), Urmi Juvekar (Shanghai), Bejoy Nambiar (David), Akshat Verma (Delhi Belly) and Pubali Chaudhuri (Kai Po Che!), the conference will be used as a platform for minds from the film and television world to discuss issues and areas of concern.
