As I prepare to dash out of the office to make what seems like a hundred pit stops before boarding a flight to the US for prep work for 'My Name is Khan' it dawns on me that I've not had a moment to collect my thoughts for this weeks blog. So far I've shared with you my thoughts and opinions on topics with varied levels of interest and relevance to my life. To dig a little deeper, and share a little more, I give you this week something incredibly close to my heart.
The other day at home sifting through piles of memories, I came across some pictures that instantly transported me to a time in my life that meant so many things to me, and the people surrounding me. The making of my second film, 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' was a larger than life experience. Every element stood out as a first for me. The scale and opulence of the film has been talked about for years, but in truth, the film had a cast that we may never see together on screen again. The characters had lives that were unabashed and indulgent, and my actors played into that with confidence. My crew wore an energy that was magnetic and constantly rejuvenating. Most importantly, above and beyond every other reasoning, it was the film of mine that my father loved the most. These fading, stained, and slightly abused black & whites bring back to my life a fond and vivid reliving of color, lights, camera, and action.
Please enjoy...
Love and koffee,
