First we read that there are four writers who have been credited for Kaminey. Vishal Bhardwaj, Supratik Sen, Sabrina Dhawan and Abhishek Chaubey. And now there is one more addition.
In an interview to Mumbai Miror, Vishal has clarified that the story started with a fifth person. To quote Vishal
Four years ago, Mira Nair assembled writers from America, India and Canada to mentor ten students from Asia and Africa. This scriptwriting workshop was held in Kampala, Yuganda.
A young writer from Nairobi showed me a script which was a story about twin brothers and what happens in their life in a span of 24 hours. It was like parallel cutting and I really liked that approach. Mira and I spoke about it at length and both of us felt that it was a typical Bollywood masala movie.
I was in touch with that writer for the next six months. He also sent me another draft. Then two-three years later I asked him to sell me the idea. He was in need of money so I sent him some 4000 dollars and bought the script to make any time.
I picked up that idea and added Bollywood masala and my dark and serious side to it. So now, one brother stammers and the other has a lisp. I thought that it would be exciting to make. But it wasn’t that easy. It was very tough and I had to work really hard. I would never like to make such a film again.
We wonder if the person is credited in the film. Because in publicity material there is no mention of any fifth person. But then, do you credit someone for story idea ? May be, or is it more than an idea. Unlike others, who makes sure to hide every source of inspiration, even if its remake, it feels good to read that Vishal is giving credit to the person who deserves it. Wish he had given out the writer’s name too.

No. You must! Manas Katyal ? One of the finalists of Rakhi Ka Sawayvar on NDTV Imgaine. The show that will baffle many generations of sociologists for sure. And Rakhi Sawant surely deserves the Lifetime Achievement Acting Award for this show. Because nobody can fake it better than her. And she also can’t do better than this. You have to watch the videos. With background music from bollwood. It doesn’t get funnier than this. Swayamvar moves to Delhi now. We are hooked and how!
The season of the sequels is back, with a good news and a bad one.
His debut feature Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na went on to become big hit. We thought it was strictly ok, serving the bollywood’s oldest cliche ek ladka aur ladki dost nahi ho sakte hai kya! But then, when you cater to U-25 with popcorn and cola flick, High School Whimsical is also superhit.
His “khooni” cameo in Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance got the loudest laughs. And he will soon be seen in a full fledged role of a UP gangster in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Shaagird. And then there is Sudhir Mishra’s Tera Kya Hoga Johnny.
