A THOUGHT WAS BORN...AND SO WAS A DIRECTOR!

The thought occurred to Uttung- Director and the man behind the story and screenplay of AttaPitta- sometime in 2006 in a discreet village on the outskirts of Maharashtra. Those were the times that every director/ writer goes at some time in his life. It is a time when you have to simply wait for you have knocked on doors and entered through windows yet there is no opportunity that is allowing you in! At such times you might be willing to have patience but it is the pressure that builds around you that makes you anxious!

As such Uttung sat across a highly recommended astrologer who was predicting Uttung's life...his future...Although initially disinterested Uttuung could not help but get amused at the exact details of his past that were revealed by the astrologer and then by his predictions for the future! It was that evening when the thought occurred to Uttung...

...WHAT IF THIS MAN(the astrologer) WAS THE ONE WRITING MY LIFE???

What could i do to make sure he writes good things or how would i find out? It was a vague idea then but there was enough curiosity behind the thought and Uttung began developing it...Over two years of work- sometimes just in the back of the mind while sometimes with complete concentration-the screenplay and plot development of the script happened.

And Finally, what started as a wild abstract thought soon became a feature film- ATTA PITTA...a story that portrays through very real and amusing characters, a very subtle narration of the reliance we human beings have on hour own fate and on our own actions.
