Raj Nidimoru of Raj-dk fame, Shor in the City Go Goa Gone and so many more, spoke to Subhash K Jha, about the journey to releasing their debut film, 99 that hit the big screen in 2009.

Raj, how did your first project materialize?

It took us almost four or five years to get that film going because we were new to Mumbai city. It was the first time we had landed in Mumbai at that point, and we didn’t know anyone, so all we knew was we could write a script. So we wrote 99, Shor in the City and Go Goa Gone, I think. All three stories we decided as engineers aspiring to be filmmakers that if we write three scripts, at least one of them will get made. There’ll be more chances of one of them getting made. So 99 was our first one, and we just didn’t know anyone.
