Satya Vyas said – There is a fight for credit in the film industry, many times one has to be reminded about it.

Satya Vyas is a well-known writer and scriptwriter. While the superhit web series ‘Grahan’ was made on the book ‘Chaurasi’ written by him/her, Aanand L Rai’s film ‘Nakhrewali’ is also based on the book ‘Dilli Darbar’ written by Satya Vyas. Many of his/her books have been made into films. Recently, in a conversation with ‘presswire18 Times’, Satya Vyas talked about everything from writing to scriptwriting. he/she also gave his/her stand on the controversy over writing credits in films:

A web series based on your book was released. What questions were in your mind when you got this offer?

After the release of my two-three books, I thought that now I should write something different from college stories. So I wrote a story Chaurasi which was based on riots. At that time I was working in Odisha. I got a call from Mumbai that we want to do a film on Delhi Darbar. he/she arranged for my coming there. Within two-three days I got the ticket and everything.

‘This is a big thing for a writer who is writing and also learning. I went there, then a meeting took place. It had a huge positive impact on me. After some time, my book Chaurasi was selected in a film festival. After that we got a call from a big production house that we want to do a film on it. After this the path of screenwriting opened for me.

– When a writer becomes a scriptwriter, it affects his/her writing also. But you have handled both things very efficiently. tell me about this

The writer has to understand that writing and script writing are two completely different things. You are the only king in writing. There is no boundation of time between day and night. There is no one to stop you from writing what you have to do. Your editor can make five-ten percent corrections. But when a hundred people are involved in scriptwriting simultaneously, then your role is important from the time you write till the shooting. You have to get everything right right away. In scriptwriting, there are changes in your story, due to which many writers get angry.

I think a little differently about this matter. I ask you to explain to me why change is necessary, no matter how much you want to change. All these things should be dealt with in the beginning itself. The writer who understands this does very well.

– When you are writing a book, 100 percent credit is yours. But when we go into the field of scriptwriting, there is a lot of controversy over credit. Tell me about this.

Of course, there is a race for credit in the film industry. The viewpoint of the director and the writer are different. Like if I have to make a film on ‘Banaras Talkies’, then I have written it. I know how this incident happened. But if that story is given to a director, he/she will first think how what would have happened? And then will shoot. So when he/she thinks, some changes will occur in his/her mind. Now it comes to his/her mind that I have made changes in it, so I should get the credit for it.

‘On top of that, Mumbai is such an expensive city that a writer faces a lot of difficulties just in surviving here. There are many writers who give away their stories in exchange for money. Even after the advent of internet, these things have started coming openly. Sometimes one has to be reminded about credit. The makers stay on the spot and if not reminded, they will get the work done.

– Which of your books are getting films or web series in the coming time? Apart from this, tell us about your future plans in screen writing.

A film on Delhi Darbar will be released next year. Also, a film on Kolkata is also going to be released. I have written the screenplay etc. for both.
