© Thinkworks Pvt Ltd – Raju Hirani, director of iconic hits PK, 3 Idiots, the Munnabhai series and, most recently, Sanju, has mastered the art of chopping society gently. The numbers on his films reflect the hold he has on our collective imagination. His personal journey and films also speak of his core concern i.e. education: the nature of knowledge, the nature of freedom and personal choice. At Algebra, Raju talks with rare candour about his life and work, and how he walks the tightrope of commercial success and integrity to his craft.
