"Anant is the story of Shyam, a young man with dreams, who has struggled at every stage of his life, even at the last one. He was always looking around for happiness, and freedom and expected a little extra from life. But failing at every aspect of it, he hoped to find the missing pieces to his desires in his end. Multiple attempts at suicide brought him to where he wanted to be, but was it really the end he had hoped for, is all that one needs to figure out from the film," adds Sambhav.
