In 2014, Aditya produced another short film called The Final Illusion with the director Ryan Hamelin, starring Kate Finch and Max McGuire as the main leads. It was about the last sold-out performance of a globally famous magician named ‘Phineas the Magnificent.’ His daughter was Sarah, who hadn’t seen her father in almost 20 years, goes to the theatre to inform him about something important. This new information completely changes the relationship that they once used to share. The movie revolves around the question of whether such a long gap has caused too much of a strain, or is there still hope for reconciliation between a celebrated illusionist and his daughter.
