Sandeep Srivastava

Creator Context

Summary

Sandeep Srivastava is an Indian screenwriter, lyricist and occasional actor whose credits include dialogue and screenplay work on Ab Tak Chhappan, Kabul Express, New York, Shivaay and the series Aarya, as well as lyrics for films such as Life in a Metro and Kahaani. His writing career spans crime dramas, thrillers, romance, biographical material and mainstream Hindi entertainment, often as part of a larger writing team. New York deals with terrorism, racial suspicion and the treatment of Muslim characters after 9/11, but the available public record does not establish a sustained activist or identity-politics persona around that work. He has not been widely associated with political campaigning, DEI advocacy, representation movements, public culture-war positions or recurring social-justice activism. His public profile is principally professional and craft-focused, so there is no clear basis for a score above zero.
