Different Roles

Stories to spin,questions to answer,compositions and frames to finalise,for filmmaker Rajkumar Gupta,it was a day with a difference. Donning the role of Chief Guest at the ninth annual day function of Dikshant International School,Zirakpur,in Panchkula,the director of No One Killed Jessica interacted with an eager bunch of children,sharing quick tips on film-making and scriptwriting. To one student’s question — when did he realize that he wanted to be a filmmaker— Gupta answered,“One has to have a focus and that comes after acquiring proper education and hard work. Once you reach a basic level,you will automatically know what works for you.” A trifle preachy,but his young fans lapped it up.
