News Had to unlearn for my new web series: Sujoy Ghosh
MUMBAI: National award-winning filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, after making his mark with “Kahaani” and “Badla”, is stepping into the world of web series with his upcoming show, Typewriter.The process of writing stories for a long-format medium as a web series, he concedes, is quite tough, and “Typewriter” was a learning process.”It is really tough,” Sujoy told to media. “I literally had to unlearn so much from my habit of writing the script of a film, which has a duration of just three hours. I have also written a short film, and this (web series) is such a long format of storytelling. I had a hard time in the beginning. The good thing is now that I am done with my first web series, I can write and direct another one with the ease I do a film.
