Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane Talks About His Latest Series on Prison Black Warrant

Filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane says he adopted a "fly on the wall" approach to show the world that exists within the walls of Tihar jail in his upcoming series, Black Warrant. The show is a dramatized adaptation of the book Black Warrant: Confessions Of A Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta, a former superintendent of Tihar, and journalist Sunetra Choudhury.

"I told my crew constantly that, 'you are a fly on the wall', or you are peeping into somebody's room and feel like you are taking vicarious pleasure out of what is happening on screen. That's been the operative mantra throughout," Motwane told PTI in an interview.
