The Chennai International Screenwriting
Workshop, which is being hosted
jointly by Kamal Haasan’s
Raajkamal Films International and
the Indian Institute of Technology,
Madras, will begin on May 28th.
Several noted screenwriters will
participate in this two-day seminar
to exchange their ideas.
Noted among them are: French writer
Jean Claude Carriere, Olivier Lorelle,
Shekhar Kapur, K. Balachander, Balu
Mahendra, Gulzar, Gollapudi Maruthi
Rao, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Vishal
Bharadwaj, Rituparno Ghosh, Shyamaprasad
and Sriram Raghavan.
Kamal said, “All the people
I have called are people I have
learned from even if they are younger
than me. Some of them are people
I consider mentors. Mr. Balachander
has written and produced 100 different
films, Mr. Balu Mahendra and I wish
Mani Ratnam could've come too but
he has a film to complete.”
The workshop is only for selected
delegates and the seminar is only
