Do You Know The Invisible Man Of Bollywood?
He’s not on social media. He may be on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with an anonymous identity keeping himself up to date with everything you think you’re updated about. His is the longest running film in the country, yet you can’t say you haven’t seen him in the longest time, because you’ve hardly seen him.
Most of us don’t even know how he looks like or how does he sound. His loyal fanatics might have a few deleted or behind the scene videos and heard a sentence or word from him, but that’s it. He’s never in news for his style statements or social events, yet he’s made the some unforgettable styles take over Bollywood and no one in the industry misses an event if he throws a party! He’s a teacher, a mentor and a great friend for a lot of A listers in the film fraternity.
He’s carrying forward the legacy of the King Of Romance and making sure that the biggest film studio in India only moves forward and promotes new talent.
He’s the real starmaker in Bollywood. He’s the man behind making Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan what they are today. He’s the super career launcher of Jimmy Sheirgill, Kim Sharma, Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Preity Jhangiani, Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, and we’re still counting.
He never promotes his own movie in public or on any other platform. You will never see him taking the credit of defining anyone’s career or talking about all the list of stereotypical questions about every film he makes.
He pens his own movies, writes them in the most difficult situations, goes around with the crew for recce and finishes the film and then disappears! He does give a s**t to the fate of the film, but he never comes out in the open to share his views. No amount of success or failure deters him from making the most romantic movies every time.
There’s just one interview of his on the internet which belongs to Filmfare, and the only time you saw him speaking for more than a few seconds was when he won the Best Director Award for his iconic first film. We’re talking about the man who fuels love like no one else can, the poet whose poems you’ve been diligently using on your bae but didn’t know are penned by him. The invisible yet the most powerful storyteller of Bollywood, Aditya Chopra!
