Shanti Shiwara and Atul Kasbekar
I am good for women, and with them," says Atul Kasbekar when we meet him a day before his debut as producer, Neerja, hits the screen. It's little surprise that the fashion photographer known best for an annual swimsuit calendar he shoots, has chosen a woman-centric movie to launch his career behind the camera. Neerja, starring Sonam Kapoor, is a biographical account of Neerja Bhanot, a Pan Am stewardess who lost her life while saving passengers from terrorists during a hijack in September 1986.
