Mukta Arts chairman Subhash Ghai in a press release said that he would offer Rs 10 million (Rs 1 crore) to a screenwriter who can bring him a complete and enthralling bound script. Something like this has never happened in India Whistling Woods International Film and Television Institute, promoted by Mukta Arts, has also extended
scholarships and special loans to promising applicants for the screenwriting program.
"If we say that we are perpetually on the lookout for good scripts then why can't we put our money where our mouth is and pay Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 million) for a brilliant script, which according to me is a fair price, especially when we are going to spend Rs 25 - 50 crores (Rs 250 - 500 million) to produce the film," reasons Ghai.
Update:
"It can be submitted on A4, on CD or over email to writersbox@muktaarts.com . They will need to send us the synopsis and the entire script for the same. The script would have to be registered at Writers’ Association, Mumbai or any legal organisation. "There is no last date, as I said, this is not a contest. The search will go on. "
