Love has been the inspiration for countless stories and tales over the years, but in Shiva, award-winning actor and screenwriter Rex Dane explores the emotion through a unique scope, examining lost love and the effects of unrealized romance.
The captivating 108-page screenplay is a Hollywood love story for the modern world, detailing the romance between the main character Shiva Chatterjee, a handsome and famous actor who is sadly dying, and an aspiring makeup artist. The story rides the emotional rollercoaster, taking viewers on a powerful journey of highs and lows that will keep them on the edge of their seats throughout.
The romantic drama showcases the power of love and the depths of heartbreak, and Rex created the screenplay inspired by true events. A passionate actor and writer of South Asian descent, he has faced a range of challenges on his journey in Hollywood. Initially confronting a raft of rejections when pitching Shiva to production houses.
However, undeterred, Rex persevered, creating a trailer for the film before submitting it to international film festivals and winning multiple awards for his acting and writing. This dedication mirrors the same commitment that Shiva undergoes in the film, turning his life around and becoming a famous actor.
Rex Dane added, “Shiva explores one of life’s most important emotions, love. However, it is not your traditional love story, and the characters face those same challenges and issues that we all experience in real life. Although the story is fictional, it is inspired from some of the experiences I have faced, so it has been an honor to play the main role as I truly believe no one else can play the role better than myself.”
