Akarsh Khurana: “The Story Of Karwaan Is Very Close To My Heart”

Akarsh Khurana, director of the forthcoming film “Karwaan” featuring National Award-winning Irrfan Khan, says he wrote the story four years ago and it is very close to his heart.

Akarsh, also an actor, wrote the story of the film when he got one-liner idea from filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar about the delivery of a wrong dead body.

“The story is very close to my heart. I developed the idea into a story with three main characters. It was quite an interesting process. Since we finished the first draft of the story four years ago, we kept updating the characters with time to keep them relevant. Our dialogue writer Hussain Dalal has done a good job,” Akarsh told IANS here.

The story of “Karwaan” revolves around Avinash who receives the wrong dead body of his father and goes on a road trip to find out what happened in reality, and how during the journey, he meets people and faces situations that change his life.

Sharing his experience of working with two renowned actors – Irrfan and Dulquer Salmaan, Akarsh said: “It was a privilege to work with an actor like Irrfan Khan because when we were writing the story, we had no idea who is going to play the character.

“Also, it was great to work with Dulquer because being such a great star down south, he was so cooperative during the shooting. We worked really close.”
