Abhijit Deshpande, the dialogue writer for Shaitan is of the opinion that dialogue-writing process in any film begins with a good thought first. In the absence of thought, a writer writes just for compulsion and the results are never great. He also feels that a dialogue writer must exercise the word play in such a manner that the dialogue sounds beautiful.

Abhijeet expresses his opinion about the expectations of his producer and director. They do not want the scenes to be too long. What can be said in four lines, say it in one. What you can say in one line, say it in a word. Abhijeet feels then why to have dialogues at all. There are films like Pulp Fiction which are verbose and yet intersting. The dialogue delivery too matters a lot. The delivery and timing take the dialogue to another level.
