For a veteran photojournalist with over four decades of experience, writing a book seems like a logical progression.

But every book has its quota of obstacles. Pradeep Chandra knows that quite well by now as he’s already published two books earlier. Both were tributes to personalities he shares a deep connection with: Amitabh Bachchan and MF Hussain. However, this time around, it was a rather different challenge as the very subject of Chandra’s latest book — Aamir Khan — didn’t appear too keen on cooperating with him on his photographic endeavour.
