The title ‘Darta Hai Kyu’, may sound like a drama or a thriller but this is where the film will start surprising you even before the shoot starts. ‘Darta Hai Kyu’ is a comedy about hair loss and how this little problem has taken the Men’s world by a storm, across section. Media World with its first project promises to deliver a unique conceptual story of a middle class man and his persistent problem of hair fall.
The film tries to address the issues and insecurities related to this widely prevalent and commonplace problem of hair loss through a witty narrative. The main protagonist deals with love, friends, girlfriend, family, career etc. along with the genuine and pivotal problem of hair fall, very early on in his life.
“I was looking for an idea for a comedy film. I was very sure I wanted to start my journey in Bollywood with a genuine unique idea, not just recycle what is already been done. That is how the idea of ‘Darta Hai Kyu’ came to me. This film addresses the most widespread insecurity in the Urban man, one problem we all observe but are scared to speak about- The issue of hair loss. The film intends to address this wide spread insecurity in a lighter note. We want people to realize, Bhai baal hi hain yaar, Darta Hai Kyu."

In a very short span of time, his Ad firm, Media World, has already made a mark in a market like Mumbai. I am sure he will do the same in the cinema world, especially with a topic like this. It is a brilliant idea and the audience will be bound to take notice as this problem is there in every second house. I wish him all the best.”
