Even after his close buddy Samir Chanda&rsquo;s death, Vishal Bhardwaj has found a unique way to pay homage to the late art director. The filmmaker and the art director worked together on projects like Omkara, Kaminey and Makdee. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Vishal-Bhardwaj_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 439px; " /> Vishal Bhardwaj Instead of hiring some other experienced art director to help him with his films, Bhardwaj has roped in three of Chanda&rsquo;s assistants to work on his upcoming film, one starring Imran Khan and another starring Emraan Hashmi. The three of Chanda&rsquo;s aides to have been hired by Bhardwaj are Subrato Chakravarthy, Punita Grover and Amit Ray. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Subrato-Chakravarthy.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 503px; " /> Subrato Chakravarthy Subroto tells us, &ldquo;I have been an assistant with Sameer dada from a film called Indian many years back and so has been Amit. Punita joined us during Rang De Basanti. I learnt more about Vishal when I did Omkara and I was even promoted to being Chanda&rsquo;s associate. After that I did many films with him.&rdquo; Subrato is glad that Bhardwaj trusted the trio. He says, &ldquo;We have really worked hard and delivered our best. Vishal and dada had a great equation and everything I have learned is from dada. I hope I live up to his expectations.&rdquo;u00a0
