This students of film editing adds, “In the kind of course that I am in, I cannot avail the bank loans for these loans need to be returned after one year of competing the course. But the line that we people work in, it is not for sure that we will get job in the very first year. This is after all film line and nothing is for sure here. Hence we need patronage of the state government. Moreover, if the state government wants that fine arts like cinema and art should survive in Punjab, then the state government should help us students make it to institutes like the NSD and the FTII.”

Talking about his experiences at the FTII, Vikrant says, “Initially it was big cultural shock both in the terms of life-style and even in terms of cinema. A whole new world opened out in front of me.” About his choice of editing as a subject, Vikrant says, “Though in the first year we study all the courses like audiography, cinematography, editing and direction, I chose editing for my course for it is magical to see how this science can make or break a film. The work is challenging and very creative too. Though I too would not mind directing a film in my lifetime but for now editing is my passion.”
