Someone who came from a very modest background to making the audience turn to strong scripts from star gazing. Someone who revolutionised the institution of cinema to its stronger roots with hard-hitting stories.

Someone who at the time where a hero-centric script was doing the rounds, turned heads when there were strong female characters who formed the crux of a movie. Last but not least, someone who was impeccable at creating legends. Of course it is no secret now who we are talking about. The one man who does not conform to one style.
