The book has been co-authored by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and features first person accounts of some of the most prolific names of Indian cinema and the advertising world– Waheeda Rahman, AR Rahman, Manoj Bajpayee, Abhishek Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Ronnie Screwvala, Atul Kulkarni, R. Madhavan, Divya Dutta and Prahlad Kakar.
The book can be pre-ordered starting 20th July and the book will be made available all over India on 27th July. Make sure to get a copy of the book to get an insight into the minds of one of the best director-writers of recent times.
