Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 6 : Spiritual leader and actor-director Omguru opened up about his latest short film 'Mind Game', highlighting how it has created an impression across several international film festivals.
Speaking to ANI, Omguru offered an insight about film's story and the message that it aims to convey.
"It is a thriller suspense movie that revolves around an NGO. It contains a concept that no one has made yet, nor has it come to anyone's mind. We can say that it is beyond imagination. I have written the story of Mind Game. I have directed the entire screenplay. I have also acted in this film," Omguru said, further revealing that he is seen in the character of a physically challenged person.
The actor-director also reflected on the film's outreach across film festivals and added, "We have participated in 50 international film festivals. We also got official selection from 15 places.

Omguru also spoke about his journey from the path of spirituality toward the world of cinema.
"In the present era, I visualise spirituality and cinema in the same manner. Spirituality takes a person to a new direction. Cinema also attracts today's generation. If you want to connect the new generation with spirituality. then the medium of entertainment is very important. If a disabled person can work in films....and walk on the path of spirituality. He can generate constructivity and positivity," he said.
Omguru shared that he wishes to make more than 100 short films in the upcoming two years, voicing the need to include a category of 'Divyang films' in film festivals across the country.
"I am not talking about the funds, but to give them a platform. They could be honoured with a National Award or rewarded by the state government," he added.
Omguru, who has an 80 per cent physical disability, has been involved in writing, directing and acting in films under his banner.
One of the projects associated with the production house is 'Mind Games', a short film in which he contributed to the story, screenplay, direction and acting.
