A young boy from Meerut had a dream of becoming a famous cricketer. Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately), when studying at Delhi University, his thumb broke just a day before an inter-university tournament. Soon after, he lost his father. These two developments made him give up his dream of playing cricket for the country.
Clearly, destiny had other plans for him. Today, Vishal Bhardwaj is one of India’s greatest filmmakers. His films are part of studies and research. He has won numerous awards and every actor in the country wishes to work with him. One of his fortes is the power to portray violence poetically. He is an ace at adapting Shakespeare’s immortal plays and crafting them brilliantly on an Indian background.
