• In February 2021, Utsav Sarkar appeared as Shayantan Roy, a struggling poet, in the web series The Lineup on YouTube. The concept of the series was written by him. In an interview, on being asked about his role in the web series The Lineup, and how it was relatable to his own life, Utsav said,
  

  Shayantan is an aspiring poet who wants fame and everything that goes with it, but is stuck in a 9 to 5 job to feed his family. He is an ambivert who keeps things to himself and only talks in poetry. I relate to him in the sense that things we are most passionate about may not always fetch us a livelihood and sometimes we have to make-do doing a job we don’t like. However, Shayantan’s struggles are harder than mine as I am fortunate enough to do what I love for a living. He doesn’t have the liberty to do so, and therein lies his angst.” ^[7]BuddyBits

Plays, screenplays, whatever came to mind. At that point in time, I just wanted to feel better about myself. One of the short films I wrote during this time was bought by a company for a handsome amount. And it is from here that my luck looked up and smiled. In a way, my foray into screenwriting started because of rejection.” ^[9]BuddyBits
