Facts/Trivia

• At his 60th birthday party, Shah Rukh Khan attended the party and talked about Anand. He mentioned,
  

  He is also my spiritual guru. He understands vastu, so when one of my films doesn’t do well, I call him over to change things up in my house. I say, ‘Sir, meri pichli waali picture chali nahi, kuch kar do.’ And he suggests moving a mirror around. But fortunately, my films have been working.”

• In an interview, he discussed what he looks for before investing in the films. In the interview, he said,
  

  I view every project from an audience’s point of view and so stories that say something new matter to me. As a producer, I don’t want to repeat the cliche that ‘content is king’ but it truly is. Only a compelling story, well-etched characters, and creative execution can make the audience remember a film in the glut of content that we have today. As someone who loves big-screen entertainment, I also enjoy making visual extravaganzas but ensure that the production values and grandeur enhance rather than replace strong narratives. Whether it’s a building or a film or a series, if the foundation is weak, then it is bound to crash. So I am willing to invest my time and resources in any project where the story is solid and can lend itself to an unforgettable cinematic experience.
