Spielberg’s India trip: Catch him if you can!

Mar 07, 2013 - Joginder Tuteja

The guest list for Steven Spielberg’s India visit is turning bigger with every passing day. Apart from Big B who will host Spielberg, there is a whole bunch of B’townies making a beeline for a tete-a-tete with the Oscar-winning director. Needless to say, most of them are directors themselves.

“Karan Johar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rajkumar Hirani are some of the major names floating around, but now, Imtiaz Ali, Madhur Bhandarkar, Farhan Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap have also been added to the list,” says a source.
While Imtiaz will be getting away for a bit from the on-going shoot of Highway, for Farhan it would mean slipping away from the schedules of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Shaadi Ke Side Effects. “Everybody is busy with something or the other. K Jo, Bhansali and Hirani are caught up with Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ram Leela and Peekay. respectively. But then again, it’s not daily that a director of such calibre pays a visit,” adds our source.
Not just that, a few A-list actors are also vying for an invitation with the star. Guess Spielberg can brace himself for one warm welcome and of course, a packed schedule.
