'Katiyabaaz': A documentary maker challenges mainstream space

The release of an 80-minute documentary on Kanpur's electricity hassles against a big banner Bollywood film didn't seem an alien concept to the makers of 'Katiyabaaz', who were confident of "challenging the mainstream".

Director duo Fahad Mustafa and Deepti Kakkar struggled their way for nearly three years to get a commercial release for Katiyabaaz across almost 50 screens in the country. They now hope the film spreads its light far and wide.

"We are sort of challenging the mainstream. We are trying to compete with the Bollywood space," Mustafa told media in an interview.
