On-the-up director Akshay Indikar, who is all of 28, has completed two Marathi films in as many years and is tear- ing towards his third. The sec- ond one, Sthalpuran, will be premiered at the reputed Berlin Film Festival (February 20-March 1). It’s a big honour for Indikar, a film school dropout, and yet another booster shot for the wider community of independent- minded Indian directors who seek to share their vision on a global stage. lthough Sthalpuran will be shown in the AGeneration K-plus category, which fea- tures films about children and teenagers, it’s really for grown-ups.
