He added, "MASAAN is set in the religious city of Varanasi and touches the age old tale of a low caste man (in this case Dom community, who work at cremation grounds) falling in love with a high caste girl but what makes the movie intriguing is its authentic backdrop and its innovative treatment."
Readers would be surprised to know that Neeraj Ghaywan, is an electrical engineering graduate from Hyderabad`s Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology and was earning a six figure salary but his passion for cinema drew him to filmdom and he quit his lucrative job.
"I started my cinematic journey by contributing actively to the film website PassionForCinema.com (not functioning presently) through which I came in contact with Anurag Kashyap, who would blog enthusiastically on the site," he informed.
He added. "One day to my surprise Anurag Kashyap called me and asked me, if I would be interested in assisting him on GANGS OF WASSEYPUR`, which was to be screened at the Cannes International Film Festival."
He continues, "I nodded and today my directorial film has been filmed at the same festival, where many legendary filmmakers` of Indian cinema like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, M S Sathyu`s and Shyam Benegal`s film have been screened! "
