Mumbai: This is a coup. Leading filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Sudhir Mishra and Chakri Toleti (of Billa 2 fame) have come together to make a series of short films that will soon be released in the digital form across the country.

The series will have everything found in a full length feature film like music, drama and excitement but in short films. The films will be treated like a normal feature film. Each film will be for around 10 minutes. It is said that Mishra will set the ball rolling being the first in the group to start work.

Says ad filmmaker and TV producer Omar Haider, the man behind this initiative, "Several other directors are in the process of joining hands with us. Our initial plan is to come up with 10-12 films with each one making one film at least. We will then plan the release and marketing of the film.

The films will be released on digital platforms like cell phone, internet, etc.
