Love of Cinema

Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

In conversation with writer/director Nikhil Mahajan on Pune 52 (2013), genre filmmaking, Marathi cinema and Shah Rukh Khan
We chatted about the underlying themes in the 2013 neo-noir Pune 52, the casting, influences on the film and why Girish Kulkarni figures among the finest actors of our times.
Nikhil also spoke on genre filmmaking in India and today's Marathi cinema.
Finally, two fellow SRK fans got down to chatting about the kind of films we would love to see King Khan explore, the kind of film Nikhil would love to do with SRK, and... I shared my pitch for an action film, designed, keeping SRK in mind:)
