Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s book, Unscripted: Conversations on Life and Cinema is ready for release. In 'Unscripted', Chopra speaks to long-time collaborator and scriptwriter Abhijat Joshi about his journey. Their films include Sanju (2018), PK (2014) and 3 Idiots (2009). The book will provide a glimpse into the “mind, method and madness of the filmmaker.” Published by Penguin, it is scheduled to hit stands on January 25.

Commenting on the release, Joshi said, "Once when I had helped Vinod with a quote for some occasion, he had gifted me a shirt and said, 'Coat (quote) ke badle shirt!' Today when I'm asked for a quote about him, I recall this moment. If the phrase Seize the Day didn't exist, Vinod would have invented it." In 1992, Joshi wrote a critically acclaimed play, A Shaft of Sunlight, that Chopra happened to see in Birmingham. Their collaboration resulted in films like Mission Kashmir, Eklavya, and most recently, Shikara. The team also included director Rajkumar Hirani in helming major blockbusters in recent years like Lage Raho Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, PK and Sanju.
