Talking about his penchant for writing, Mukul, who has been a part of the Hindi film and TV industry, says, “I have always loved writing as it comes very naturally to me. I spend a lot of time thinking of stories and reading and that's where my creativity comes from. I am exploring new stories and the talks are on. And in fact, I might just come out with something real soon." He adds, “The avenues for all arenas in content is wide now. I definitely feel that actors have more and better work to choose from and so do writers. There is a new bandwagon of writers, actors, directors and producers in the frame and it is the most exciting time to be in the content space.”
