The book has been co-authored by Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta and features first person accounts of some of the most prolific names in Indian cinema and the advertising world – Waheeda Rahman, AR Rahman, Manoj Bajpayee, Abhishek Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Ronnie Screwvala, Atul Kulkarni, R. Madhavan, Divya Dutta and Prahlad Kakar.
The book will be made available all over India on 27th July.
