Synopsis
An 11 year old boy must juggle with the recent death of his father as well as cope with making new friends in an unfamiliar place after his mother gets a job transfer.
Production
The idea for Killa came to Avinash Arun when was in the FTII and his father kept having to be transferred from job to job. Arun was having a difficult time finding work as a cinematographer, so he decided to pitch his idea to a fellow student Tushar Paranjape, who ended up turning it into a full script. When Indian indie production company JAR Pictures showed desire to fund independent cinema from up-and-coming directors, Avinash Arun told them about his story in March 2013. The company decided to greenlight the project, and it went on floors after four months.[3]
