Hardik Mehta on making Kaamyaab, co-writing Paatal Lok, chasing the dream in Mumbai | NL Interview

#HardikMehta is a filmmaker. He’s known for the documentary Amdavad Ma Famous, which won him the National Award, and the recently released #Kaamyaab, a cinematic homage to the Hindi film industry’s “side actors”. He also co-wrote the web series #PaatalLok, which is currently playing and earning rave reviews.

Hardik sat down with Abhinandan Sekhri to talk about how he came upon the idea of making a film on the supporting actors who had iconic presence in the 1980s and 1990s but then slipped into oblivion. Hardik also talks about the struggle of finally getting a theatrical release for Kaamyaab, just a week before the coronavirus pandemic forced cinemas to shut down.
