Prajakt Rebeloma from Nagpur is an upcoming director, actor, writer, lyricist, singer and editor of movie "lastbenchers" . Before 2 years he was just a normal guy. His Father Mr. Moreshwar Meshram produced two marathi movies where he suffered with some financial loss. Prajakt was a shy lastbencher with no recognition in his school days. Facing many inferiority complexes with the way he looked, poor English speaking skills, he somehow managed to pass tenth standard with distinction. He lost interest in academics, missed classes, spent tuition money hanging out with friends, he left college education after passing 11th std. constantly facing criticism from relatives, neighbours, he left home to work in tea stalls and kept wandering in search for his true call.

His father Mr. Moreshwar Meshram holds 3 degrees, national awards and many state awards. He also produced two Marathi movies but when Prajakt realized that his dad was losing money making movies, he decided to help his father by jumping in filmmaking business. With just one dslr camera, old laptop, internet connection Prajakt decided to learn everything about filmmaking and decided to make a movie. Prajakt secretly loved one girl but she hated him.


Anyway, he called some of his friends to help him out in his flat where there were just 2 blankets, one mattress and one stove to cook food. Excited everyone came but soon left one by one as his goal was too big and he didn’t even had a college degree. But Prajakt moved on. He wrote four page story named "Lastbenchers" and was about to go to Mumbai to learn further but while he was crossing road one night, A car with 90 kmph speed hit him. He fell 30 feet away and the impact broke his left leg. His only wish before operation was to meet his family and the girl he loved so much. After operation, when he woke up, his friends gave him the news that they tried to talk to the girl but the girl not only refused to meet but said "Who gives a shit if he lives or dies and its better if he dies".

After hearing this, Prajakt, instead of crying and feeling helpless made a promise to himself that instead of thinking about her, it's better to think about completing his project.. His friend dipak harne and brother Sanket Galactus (20 yr old) joined him in his task. He crawled 4 floors daily up and down as he was unable to walk but never let anyone feel sympathy for him. Slowly he started walking with 8 screws and two plates in his leg. And the boy who never studied in his school life started studying day and night. Prajakt and Sanket never assisted any director, never took part in any filmmaking workshop or attended film-school. They never even called anyone for help or guidance.

They didn't even shot any short film before. Prajakt decided that if failure is in his way then it's better to fail doing something big. But together they learned every aspect of film-making on their own just from internet. Studying, testing, failing then trying again became their daily routine. Not only this, they made it their goal to make a Bollywood movie where they will give chance to many newcomers. A whole team of new comers. Every day they studied and next day they taught. Within two months they learned everything and shot their first movie "Lastbenchers".


Where are these guys today? Well, Prajakt Rebeloma is making his debut in hindi movie "Lastbenchers" as a director, actor, writer, editor, lyricist, screenplay writer, dialogues writer. Sanket Galactus is making his debut as cinematographer, supporting actor, colorist and creative producer. Today both do everything from rapping, songwriting, scriptwriting, photography, cinematography, direction, art direction etc. They produced one album whose 50,000 cd were distributed for free. Today their goal is to form film industry in Nagpur and "Lastbenchers" releasing 29th august 2014 is their first movie. We are sharing this story to say just one thing. That no matter what your condition is, no matter if someone criticizes you, no matter even if someone breaks your bones or heart, believe in your strength and one day your success will be the best revenge.
