It is quite fascinating to note that Reema Kagti, an Assamese is behind the success of many Bollywood flicks. This quite well know personality of the Bollywood has made the Assamese community immensely proud by making some of the best known personalities of the country work under her and achieving considerate success in almost each of her ventures. Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. is the best known work of Reema till date, but apart from that she has made numerous contributions to the Bollywood which many of us have not known. This behind the screen 'Queen' of Bollywood has some solid considerate contribution to the industry which will definitely fascinate many of us. According to IMDb, an International Movie Database, her works are:
Second Unit Director or Assistant Director (6 titles)
Writer (3 titles)
Director (2 titles)
Actress (1 title)
2008Rock On!!
Isn't the track record interesting. How many of us knew her contribution to the Industry? See the important jobs she has handled. She is surely someone who has made us proud. A very good fried of the Zoya Akhtar, she is the one who has been given the credit of making Farhan Akhtar act.
Her family is not connected to films at all, despite the fact that her grandfather once part-produced a film. "I never met my grandfather, who died before I was born. Since then, my family has had no association with films, which is probably why my father was very concerned when I told him I wanted to do films," says Reema.
She tried to get into Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), but was rejected thrice. Determined to get into the movies, Reema decided to do her internship (part of her course in college) under a filmmaker instead of a television production house. Through her contacts, she met Rajat Kapoor , who said he would be happy to take her on. But he had one condition -- that she would work with him not just for a month, but do the whole film.That is how Reema landed her first assignment -- Private Detectives. There has been no looking back. The turning point in her career came with Ashutosh Gowarikar's Lagaan
Her forthcoming venture with superstar Ammir Khan is all set to hit screen this year. Hopefully it turns out a hit and make us even more proud. Wishing her all the best.
