New kids on the block


Meet Mayan Puri and Lajan Joseph.

Who the hell are they?

Well it seems they’ve been around for quite a while in Bollywood. But like 99.99% of those in the industry who work behind the scenes and their names never do come out in the open. That may change though if their co-written “My Name is Anthony Gonsalves” clicks at the box office

What have they worked on so far?

Well Mayan Puri has worked with the KJ/Yash Chopra banner, while Lajan Joseph was the co-writer of - believe it or not - Munnabhai MBBS.

Indiafm recently interviewed both these guys here where they talk about their past, present and hopes for the future.

Mayan Puri is interviewed here while Lajan Joseph talks here.

Of course the guys come in with their own sets of views, opinions… the regular yada yada yada. While Puri goes high on his education in Arts and Theater by throwing in stuff like Coleridge’s ‘ensemplastic imagination’ and Longinus’ sublimity and Kavyashastra et. all, Joseph seems to someone who learnt the art of writing in the field rather than on class desks - besides talking abouthow underpaid writers are.

    [...] Her interview at Rediff is worth a read. Incidentally this is the third interview that came out this week on new writers. The other two were mentioned here on Desi Train. [...]
