About Jeelan

Like many screenwriters, I'm a passionate enthusiast immersed in the world of cinema. My life has been a cinematic journey, and like all great storytellers, I aspire to weave my distinctive narratives for my audience. I've always been captivated by the allure of heists, cops, car chases, deception, and unexpected twists in movies. These elements evoke a range of emotions and offer gripping storytelling. With this in mind, I've crafted a screenplay inspired by the essence of such films, aiming to carve out my place in this thrilling genre.
