Starring Manoj Bajpayee, Despatch is a gripping investigative thriller that explores the dark underbelly of media and crime.
For the Despatch - Promo shoot, I worked as an Assistant Director, managing on-set execution, camera coordination and setups. I was responsible for ensuring smooth transitions between creative and technical departments, maintaining continuity and managing script breakdowns for promo sequences.
In post-production, I handled editing, color correction and compositing, aligning the visual tone of the promos with the film’s intense, suspense-driven narrative. The project also involved working with green screen setups and layered integration to create a seamless and cinematic look.
Despatch was a creatively demanding project that honed my ability to bridge on-ground direction with post-production finesse ensuring every frame contributed to the story’s dark, investigative pulse.
For the Despatch promotional campaign, I led one of the on-ground content production teams responsible for executing a creative marketing idea - printing Despatch posters on mock newspapers and featuring them across iconic Mumbai locations.
A creative guerrilla marketing campaign for ZEE5’s Despatch, directed by Kanu Behl and produced by Ronnie Screwvala. The concept revolved around designing and printing Despatch-themed newspapers that merged cinematic storytelling with the daily rhythm of Mumbai’s streets.
As one of the three team leads, I managed a small crew and documented the campaign’s journey across the city from newspaper distribution hubs, local trains, taxis to iconic landmarks capturing authentic, real-world interactions that embodied the film’s investigative tone.
In post-production, I curated and edited the event footage, maintaining a fast-paced, grounded tone that mirrored the film’s narrative.
