Akhilesh Jaiswal is the latest addition to the list of talented directors in Bollywood.An assistant to Anurag Kashyap in both the parts of GANGS OF WASSEYPUR,Akhilesh who calls Anurag Kashyap as his mentor, from whom he has learnt each and every aspect of filmmaking, is all set to make his debut with MASTRAM, starring new comers Rahul Bagga and Tara Alisha Berry in the lead. “I would say that MASTRAM is not a pornographic film though it deals with the story of a writer who writes porn novels. It is a slice-of-life drama and deals with a writer’s emotional journey. It is a small budget film I made in a span of just 29 days on a budget of INR 50 Lakhs. The film set in 1970’s is about a writer, who unable to move ahead professionally resorts to writing porn stories with a nickname,and how his life goes for a toss eventually.Manoj Joshi has written the erotic dialogues for the film. I cast Rahul Bagga because Nawazuddin Siddiqui was too busy after GANGS OF WASSEYPUR to give dates for my film though he did like the subject and Rajkumar
Yadav was busy with KAI PO CHE.”
