Adding glamour to the event, several prominent celebrities like Farah Khan, Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar, Issabelle Kaif, Vasan Bala, Manasi Parekh amongst others

Speaking at the event, Boman Irani shared” Alex, you have seen the excitement in the room, you have seen the excitement as we prepped, you have seen my mobile phone and the group chat, just because Alex was coming to town. We can’t thank you enough for the five or six hours you spent with us.This is something money can’t buy. The fact that you shared with us, man, Alex, no wonder you are my brother.”

Alexander Dinelaris Jr., best known for his Academy Award-winning screenplay for Birdman added, “I am grateful to Boman and whoever made this possible. When I came here last time in 2019 to kick off Irani movitones, we did a session with a lot more than these 1500 people. But Spiral Bound, through the COVID period until now, isn’t just a group; this is a movement, and that is profound. That’s why I feel a sense of responsibility. The amount of love and care that even mentions my name when talking to you always makes me extremely nervous. But here we are. So you’ll forgive me in advance,” he ended it with a chuckle.

The session explored essential elements of scriptwriting, including them providing the participants with invaluable advice, solutions and guidance to the screen to the aspiring screenplay writers. The students were also given a sneak peek into the creative process behind The Mehta Boys, a heartfelt coming-of-age drama that celebrates friendship and resilience.
