Their previous big film, Sharmain Ka Sofa for Fevicol, was a global eye catcher, and if there could be another film worthty of the Sharmain Ka Sofa linaege, it has to be this, their latest, Jugalbandi, created by Prasoon, with Piyush guiding and encouraging all along. Listen to this episode, and watch the two films too, on Mediabrief.com. I hope you enjoy the chat. This, after all, is Piyush Pandey – unassuming, down-to-earth, like not just his favourite brand Fevicol, but also its leadership teams and his own family and himself too, all of whom he describes as ' Zameen se jude huay' .
