Seven Men had been my dream project since my NIFT days, the entire inspirations were based on a legendary Japanese photographer's NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY, where his camera exposure ranged from 4-8 hours in the most exotic planes of earth, the geographical locations were deserts, sea, craters, mountains, jungles etc. All of them signify only one thing to me and that was TIMELESSNESS. That enabled me to imagine a world that has no concept of time, its a world that looks standstill but it has dynamics of itself. That was the world that evolved the most exotic "seven men" and they were the warrior, the saint, the poet, the philosopher, the architect, the traveller and the flamboyant magician. Philosophically there are also the integral seven characters of a human being and his response to different context where his roles vary.
Seven is associated with seven days, seven stars, seven rishimunis, seven rivers, seven gods, number seven and many such universal facts that are sacred and must. The evolution of these seven men are the evolution of mankind and evolution of new species that holds each of us together and for a purpose to redefine LIFE in more holistic terms.
