+'''Shekhar Kapur,  (b. 1945)'''
+
+
+Aka Chandrasekhar Kapur; actor and director
+born in Lahore. Nephew of Dev and Vijay
+Anand. Educated in New Delhi. Chartered
+accountant and management consultant in
+London. Entered Hindi films as actor.
+Directorial début with Masoom, a low-budget,
+Hollywood-inspired melodrama using
+techniques derived from advertising films. Also
+directed the ‘curry’ western, Joshilay (resigning
+before it was complete; final version, released
+in 1989, was credited to the producer, Sibte
+Hasan Rizvi) and the special-effects-laden Mr
+India. Compered a controversial Channel 4
+(UK) TV discussion programme, On The Other
+Hand. Made many advertising films and is a
+noted fashion model. Several of his big Hindi
+productions have been delayed, leading to a
+reputation for an expansive, slow-working
+style. However, Bandit Queen, constituting a
+departure from his earlier work, fictionalised
+the life of Phoolan Devi for Channel 4 in
+London, based on Mala Sen’s book. The film
+caused a major censorship controversy,
+following accusations of defamation by
+Phoolan Devi herself and of exploitation by
+feminist and other independent groups. Also
+directed the first episodes of the TV series
+Tahqiqat, starring Vijay Anand as Sam the
+Detective.
