Screenwriter Apurva Asrani's Personal Loss Inspires The Pact
Apurva Asrani is a screenwriter who made a short film called 'The Pact'.
He made this film because of something that happened with his dad.
When his dad was sick, Apurva wanted to fix things between them, but it was hard.
After his dad passed away, Apurva felt like he was getting to know his dad as a friend, not just as his parent.
There was one time when his dad was very sad and promised to never hurt him again.
They even wrote this promise on a piece of paper.
The film 'The Pact' is about that promise and helps Apurva understand his dad better.
It stars an actor named Parambrata Chattopadhyay and is available to watch on YouTube.
Screenwriter Apurva Asrani created a short film titled 'The Pact' inspired by his relationship with his late father.
The film is based on a moment of vulnerability when his father promised to never hurt him again and signed a pact.
Asrani felt he never truly knew his father as a man until after his passing three years ago.
The film stars actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay and is available on YouTube.
Asrani's goal with the film is to understand both the pact and the man he made it with.
