Anonymous Adult writer Mastram has a Movie on his life
Most people in the Hindi heartland have read Mastram..Mastram is a writer who wrote porn pulp fiction about 3 to 4 decades back. Nobody knows who he was or what his real name was. He has, for decades, remained an enigma, but his books sold heavily mostly among the young boys and girls in the colleges and universities. Many a time a Mastram novel was handed down from one to another and read and re-read. He had a readership that went into millions.
Producer Anurag Kashyap has now made a film on the anonymous writer. He has tried to gather as much information as he could from various sources and the publishers who brought out his books. He wrote in Hindi. He has now produced the film. The movie reveals that Mastram was a poor writer who was heavily in debt and wrote porn fiction in Hindi to earn money to pay off his debts. It was released last week and has stormed the box office.
The release of Mastram the film shows that Mumbai cinema has come of age. Lastly an effort was made by the director as to who Mastram was, but the mystery was not solved and perhaps never will be.
