Filmmaker Vinay Shukla says his documentary film "While We Watched", which chronicled Ravish Kumar's routine at NDTV India, is an exploration of "adult loneliness" and has become "more timely" following the senior journalist's resignation from the news channel.
Shukla is best known for the documentary feature "An Insignificant Man" which chronicled the rise of the Aam Aadmi Party under Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. "My film is not just about Ravish's loneliness, it's the loneliness faced by the people who go against the mainstream current. If anything, the film has become more timely than ever," the Raipur-born director told PTI in an interview.
Kumar -- who had been associated with NDTV for almost three decades -- announced his exit from the channel in November amid the takeover process of NDTV by the Adani Group, a day after its founders Prannoy and Radhika Roy stepped down from its board.
