This is how I got interested in filmmaking while being an IRS officer

How did you get inclined towards films? And how did you decide to make your own film? When asked about this, Anvesh said, ‘I trained as a classical Hindustani singer for two-and-a-half years and then did my Bachelors in Performing Arts. My association with films started when I was studying in Lucknow. I used to make short films. I did jingles and advertisements. Then I came to Mumbai and started making small films. After post graduation, I opened my own film firm, where I made commercial and corporate films. Then I joined the civil services in 2013, but music and cinema were going on. I mostly made documentaries for the government.’

‘Shot during holidays and at night’

he/she further said, ‘Then I thought that I should make my own film. But a lot of resources are needed to make a film. Then I started writing the concept, then found some technicians, some friends and then in 2022 I started shooting the film. Everyone’s convenience had to be taken into account. So we mostly shot here and there during holidays. Since this is a common man’s film, so it was completed with the help of people.’

What is the story and cast of the film?

Anvesh told that the story of The Tale Of Ordinary Lives came to mind after seeing common life and common people. he/she said, ‘I had the structure of the script. The dialogues were written, but they were molded according to the situation.’ Then giving a hint of the story of the film, he/she said, ‘Unity in differences and never giving up.
