Director's Biography
Shadab Ahmad is an Independent Writer-Producer-Director from India known for his Bollywood Indie Feature Film 'Consequence Karma'. A former Navigating officer on merchant ships, Shadab first made Ads and then switched to working in Bollywood. He has been associated with a couple of interesting projects, including critically acclaimed film Nakkash.
Director's Statement
Born in a Muslim family residing in Deoband, a town known for Dar’Ul Uloom a religious University for Muslims, I had a peculiar relation with my religion as the Mythology of every religion always fascinated me a lot.
That fascination increased even more as I grew up and the interest of finding ‘the relations between various religions and the core of myths’ kept developing in me.
And when I joined the merchant Navy as Navigating Officer and worked there for a couple of years, the explorations of myths seldom took me to places & people which most of us don’t know or even comprehend could exist.
On top of that the vast mythology of My own country, India, has so many fascinating characters and their belief systems that gave me such a wonderful understanding of right & wrong.
The story I am presenting is also about right & wrong and the theory of KARMA in Indian Mythology in the form of a Drama-thriller involving a Mythological character depicted in the Modern world facing the Pandemic in the year 2020.
Consequence Karma is all about doing the right thing and keeping oneself to boundaries of it whatever may be the temptation.
