You can connect with Sundeep on facebook hereI have watched all the 3 films of Onir. And I have immensly liked them. Onir's films touch to the heart. And I always wanted to be a part of his films. As I am a director myself, I thought of approaching him to be his assistant for his future films. Facebook made me easy. I added him, he accepted my request. And since then (say January this year), I have been pushing myself - requesting Onir to give me a chance to be his assistant. He did respond back to me, asking why do I want to be his assistant as I am a director myself (have directed 3 films till date in South). Well, me being a director has nothing to do with not being someone's assistant. Working with someone whose films I have loved, would be my honour. Onir told me to contact him in May.I made a visit to Mumbai and approached him again, thats when I got to know that - Onir is planning to make 5 films together. What more can I ask for? I loved the idea of all his short subjects. Having known the thread of Abhimanyu and Omar, I am more than happy to be a part of these subjects, that would be definately viewed in an International Platform and would be appreciated, applauded and rewarded in years to come for sure!
Onir's films are for a cause and many of them are grabbing the opportunity to OWN the film. I am blessed that - I am ONE of the luckiest to be with ONIR.Sundeep Malani
