PIYUSH PANDEY: PART-TIME JOB IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Presenting someone else’s life in front of an audience in the most authentic yet sensitive way is a difficult feat to achieve. Piyush Pandey who wears several caps including a journalist, a writer, an author and a filmmaker, has achieved to create balance in his recent book, ‘Kuch Pane Ki Zidd’. Speaking to City First, the author revealed more details about his book, his passion for filmmaking, his upcoming projects and more.

Talking about the love and appreciation he is receiving for the Manoj Bajpayee biography, Piyush said, “I never thought it would get so much love. The journey of Manoj Bajpayee’s struggle is very fascinating. I think people feel very connected. I got a lot of calls and messages that mentioned they got motivation after reading the book. So, I feel that my attempt could be deemed successful.”

Divulging more about his passion for filmmaking, he mentioned that it has been his passion since a young age. “I used to live in a small town and then I went into journalism. So, I couldn’t get time to explore the field. I once thought while writing the script of a movie that I should make a short film, professionally. So, I directed the film and it is called ‘Part Time Job’. Shreya Narayan and Hemant Mahaur are a part of the film with the main protagonist being a child, who is played by Pravar Pandey. We have sent it to several festivals and are awaiting the response. I also have a feature film ahead; this is just the beginning.”
