Join us for the 112th episode of Digital Commentary’s Unfolding Talents Podcast featuring Abhishek Yadav — one of the most influential screenwriters in India’s new-age entertainment space. Known for crafting cult-favorite shows like Kota Factory, Hostel Daze, ImMATURE, and Campus Diaries, Abhishek recently made his big-screen debut with Farrey, produced by Salman Khan Films, and the newly released Lafangey starring Harsh Beniwal, Gagan Arora, and Anud Singh Dhaka.

In this honest and insightful conversation, Abhishek opens up about his journey from being an IITian to becoming a celebrated writer. He answers the popular question: “Does an IITian earn more than a writer?”.

He shares the behind-the-scenes process of writing Kota Factory and Lafangey, why he gives supporting characters equal depth, and how many of his most memorable characters are rooted in his own real-life experiences. He also addresses the long-standing fan theory — is Jeetu Bhaiya inspired by NV Sir?

The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Abhishek talks about the overwhelming global response to ImMATURE, especially when it was screened at Cannes, and how deeply people related to it. He even shares whether any of the viral meme scenes in Campus Diaries were written with that intention in mind.

From landing Farrey under Salman Khan’s banner to visiting his home after 3 years because of how warmly Salman’s family treated him — this episode is packed with heartfelt moments and first-hand industry insight. Abhishek also lists his favorite Salman Khan films and talks about Salman’s deep understanding of storytelling.

Towards the end, he shares golden advice for aspiring writers — how to pitch your script, sell your story to producers, and whether screenwriting books are really worth your time.
Whether you're an aspiring storyteller, a fan of youth-centered web series, or someone fascinated by the shift from engineering to entertainment — this episode is a must-watch for anyone chasing dreams outside the box.
