Saurabh Varma finds digital medium revolutionary

The digital world will change the way entertainment is consumed in the country by leaps and bounds, says ‘Mickey Virus’ director Saurabh Varma who launched a short film, a psychological thriller titled ‘The Girl In Red’, on the web on Tuesday.

It features actors Nandish Singh and Rohit Khurana, popular for their work on television.

"We are attempting a unique, quirky thriller in this medium that has a constraint in terms of time, money as well as visual frames," Varma told.

"Thriller is a genre which is world over the most popular genre.

We are trying to attempt something which is considered a risk at this moment," he added.

"The Girl in Red" revolves around an intellectual writer played by Nandish, whose character goes through a writer's block when he meets a quirky 'Garbage Man', essayed by Rohit.

Nandish said: "I am extremely excited about this film as this is a well-written, intelligent thriller that begins and ends within a time frame of 15 minutes, and yet there are so many layers to it.

The short duration makes each frame important.”

The film is produced by Pocket Films and Weaving Entertainment.
