Bhaskar Hazarika

"National-award winning director Bhaskar Hazarika says his brief stint in Bollywood left him with the memorable lesson that there is no respect for writers in the biggest film industry of the country.
​
This, the director explained, was at a time when he was trying hard to make his work count in Bollywood, which remained largely unmoved by original, daring ideas.
​
The director said he got the idea for Aamis while watching two people eat KFC chicken."
