Sitting in the classroom, Anurag Singh often looked at the blackboard which often turned into a movie screen in his imagination.
"And on that white movie screen," he says laughing, "I would recollect scenes -- and at times an entire film -- I had seen the previous night."
He is relaxing in his hotel suite in Toronto; a couple of days later he would walk the red carpet with Rani Mukerji at the gala premiere of his film Dil Bole Hadippa!
"I think it was my karma to be a filmmaker," Singh says. "I did not really care for my studies and my friend Hrithik Roshan took me aside and said many years ago, 'Nothing enters your head but the movies. I will take you to my father and see if you can work under him'."
