HUM


	A New Batch Of Directors They came in quietly but took us by storm. Bollywood has now come to acknowledge the passion and talent of young directors who have proved their credibility and carved a niche for themselves in the industry. Gone are the days when one would only want to do work with a Yash Chopra, Mani Ratnam, Prakash Jha or a Sudhir Mishra directorial. Today is the time of young directors who are fresh on the field and working with the best banners and biggest stars. May it be Onir, Siddharth Anand, Shaad Ali, Soham Shah, Homi Adajania or Farhan Akhtar, the industry is buzzing with young talent. And the latest to join the bandwagon is Vishal Pandya with his debut movie ‘THREE’. Interestingly Vishal had been the former assistant director to Vikram Bhatt and with this movie, Vikram gives a break to Vishal to venture into the cutthroat world of filmmaking. Apparently we also hear that Vishal’s technical and sophisticated style of making the movie has impressed Vikram, distributors and others who have had an opportunity to watch it. Looks like here are directors you just can’t ignore.
