But the young Samay was not discouraged by this. At first, he sneaked into the cinema. After being kicked out, he had various ideas, including stealing money and skipping classes to go to the cinema. He also used his mother's love for a lunch when he was hungry, and talked with the projectionist of the cinema. In exchange for hiding in the screening room to watch movies, the two became friends. He also gained a lot of film-related knowledge from the projectionist, which strengthened his dream of making movies.
