Nagesh Kokunoor
His first film Hyderabad Blues was perceived to be realistic and was one of the first movies to use Hyderabadi Urdu correctly. It became the most successful independent film in India.
After the success of his first movie, he went on to work with well-known actors and experimented in several genres. Rockford was a coming-of-the-age movie set in a boarding school and co-starred Nandita Das. Bollywood Calling was a satirical look at the Bollywood industry through the eyes of a failed Hollywood actor and co-starred Om Puri, Navin Nischol and Perizaad Zorabian. His next movie, Teen Deewarein was a thriller, loosely inspired by The Shawshank Redemption; it had actors such as Naseeruddin Shah, Juhi Chawla and Jackie Shroff.
