Sometimes limitations can take you to wilder imagination, out of the box ideas, and even to a restroom. That’s exactly what happened when debutant director Shivam Shankar was struggling for resources to mount his short film Bhed, Bakri, Bhoot. 

“We were struggling for basic resources, so I knew I had to set it in a closed space. I wrote something set in a flat, then in a restaurant, but I wasn’t kicked about them. That’s when we came to the idea of setting the entire film in a washroom. I read in a book that more revolutions have happened on the walls of a toilet than the parliament,” said Shankar.
