  • Joker! & Shortage of actors in India..
    Few days back I was sitting with a brilliant filmmaker friend of mine and we were discussing casting for his upcoming film. His script is so bloody mature and International that ace filmmakers like Anurag, Shashank or Aditya are excited to get it produced. But the problem is, he is having tough time for casting for the film. We can’t think of anyone else than Irfan...

  • Taare Zameen Par promo & my first film!
    I was shooting at the Rhodesia House, a dormitory of St. Peters School, Panchgani. Rhodesia House fits approximately 40 boys under the charge of a matron….this house accommodates the youngest (7 to 8 years) students. Being a boarding school, the admission at St. Peters starts from 3rd Std. Every time I watch TZP promo on tv, I get nostalgic with the first film(AV)...

  • aanuraag kaasyap kaa jokes
    It’s the irony of this field…fanatics from various states come to this industry with a dream. But not everyone ends up being what he wanted to…..some guys who wanted to be a director are cutting soaps as an editor, some who wanted to be an actor are serving water in production houses. As soon as you’ll enter a place like lokhandwala, suddenly you’ll...

  • :: FILM RATING STANDARDS ::
    Since the day I started reading PFC…many times i have found various people giving contrast review of the same film..well it’s obvious because it’s a matter of perception or POV etc etc…I’m just trying to make this excercise simple. We have been using this chart during my ad agency days to judge our ideas. This time I’ve altered it with...

  • Never Sit on Shoot!
    It was July 2001 I Remember… Yunusbhai (Art Director DCH) came and told me that he spoke to Kalpana and she said “sorry we already have 14 ADs and there is no place to even stand in the office”….He said, “Maine apni taraf se koshish kar li, ab main wapas nahin poochhoonga. Ab tum jaa kar directly PK se baat karo. Thodi uski taareef wagere kar do, shayad maan...
