Never Judge a book by its Cover Year 2009 . Now this one is exceptionally delightful and magnificient rendezvous. While I was traveling to city of cacophony yet dreamy Mumbai, I was certain to meet people with a sincere attitude who would take me through the initial grind of making a movie. I had a list of fine directors with their astounding track record and who had made their ground with hard work and grit. Moreover I had some thoughts where I would assess who could be a great storyteller. I had done my preliminaries and spadework before boarding the aircraft.

There I was keenly and anxiously waiting for one person whom I admired the most amongst the creatively charged up directors. What impressed me most was her charisma of handling the big stars like Sanjay Dutt Kajol Akshay Kumar Priety Zinta Ajay Devgan Pooja Bhatt Ashutosh Rana and loveable Irrfan ( Peace and Love for you in Gods Land). Since she is writer first, hence her craftsmanship behind the camera makes her a lethal combination for a producer. She is not caught in a particular genre of movies. Undertstanably she is effortless in daring subjects ranging from Dushman and Sangharsh to Sur and Qarib Qarib Single. Belonging from a family of eminent authors and writers she wrote 'Dil to Paagal Hai' which was modish chic and contemporary of its time. Tanuja Chandra she is.

After meeting Satish Kaushik, I strolled to the lobby area of Sun-n- Sand where suddenly she rose from her seat, graciously came forward and smilingly introduced herself “ I believe you are looking for me. I am Tanuja Chandra “ . I didn’t even know how to react while handshaking. Thoughtful,Pretty and such warmth. In the meeting where she narrated a story about Kashmir she was effortless and unembellished. I kept on thinking how would she actually be directing creating characters who still are remembered for their dream come true roles. Such a powerhouse she is.

For those who are in the communication field I always reiterate ‘ Never Judge a Book by its cover ‘
