Raj-DK: Want to nudge people without being preachy

Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru

Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK have a busy year ahead - while the second season of The Family Man is in post-production, the filmmaker duo is also developing the Indian version of Citadel, the Amazon Prime series produced by the Russo Brothers. Even as they are neck-deep in work, their creative minds are ticking away, finding ideas for their next. Raj-DK, as they are popularly known, are keen to explore the subject of climate change.

"It-s important to speak about climate change because it is a relevant subject, especially after COVID-19. It has to be enforced in people-s minds right now because we will have a climate crisis," emphasises Raj.

While they have yet to begin scripting, Raj is certain that they won-t take an on-the-nose approach. After all, the duo has a knack for bringing urgent stories to the fore, lacing them deftly with humour and entertainment. "Our aim is not to educate people. They have several sources and [well-informed] people to do that job. We want to nudge people to look at [the climate crisis] without being preachy. We need to find an interesting angle to it, which is not too obvious," he adds.
