I chose the name Gurgaon, because when you say that word, people already have an impression of what it is. So, they know what to expect. Like the poster says, 'Yahan kisi cheez ki guarantee nahin hai'," says cinematographer Shanker Raman of his directorial debut, Gurgaon. "It's talking about urban alienation, violence and living in an unequal world. It's about questioning the notion of modernity, which leads to social defragmentation, and we lose our humanity somewhere along the way."
