Devashish Makhija on walking away from YRF

Filmmaker Devashish Makhija faced early career setbacks after a three-film deal with Yash Raj Films was cancelled. His first feature film, Ajji, was released in 2017 after years of struggle. Makhija later directed acclaimed films like Bhonsle and Joram, exploring Adivasi communities. The release of Joram led to significant financial difficulties for the director. He has since directed Gandhari, based on another writer's script.
