Book Presentation:
"Freeze Frame is a book of conversations with film people—actors, directors, writers, producers. These interviews, conducted between 2007 and 2011, by author and film critic, Anupama Chopra, capture a place and a time. They offer an insight into the magic and madness of making movies; the heartache and malice of the business; the craft, creativity and inevitable compromises of cinema. I never thought about why people love me so much. I won’t think about why people hate me now. Shah Rukh Khan Not every Bollywood film is perfect and some people say, ‘Oh, it is so ridiculous.’ I say, yes, like Shakespeare is ridiculous. Like human beings are ridiculous. Ridiculous not meaning idiotic. Ridiculous meaning, not necessarily a reflection of realism.
