Synopsis

With Directors Diaries 2, Rakesh Anand Bakshi adds yet another invaluable volume to his on-going series of conversations with Hindi cinema s most iconic voices, this time sharing with us his conversations with some of the industry s most eminent film-makers-Shyam Benegal, Tanuja Chandra, Kabir Khan, Abhishek Chaubey, Nandita Das, Shakun Batra, Prabhudheva and Mohit Suri. The book also brings to light a significant but often overlooked behind-the-scenes crew such as spot boy Salim Shaikh, makeup artist Vikram Gaikwad and audiographer and sound designer Rakesh Ranjan. From the moment they were first drawn to the craft of film-making and how they got that elusive first break as a film-maker to films that left a deep impression on them and what they have learnt from other film-makers they admire, Directors Diaries 2 is an invaluable collection of stories for aspiring directors and cinema fans alike
