Rajkumar Hirani's son learning filmmaking at Ghai's school

Rajkumar Hirani may be a director in his own right, but he has got his son, Vir, to learn the ropes of filmmaking at Subhash Ghai’s Whistling Woods.

The other day Hirani went to watch Vir perform at the institute and was thrilled by his progress. “When I saw the scene, I thought it was rehearsed. Later, I got to know that everyone was improvising,” says the filmmaker.

“Vir comes home and tells me about what all he did at film school. He seems happy. I think that is very important. After that it will be his perseverance and hard work that will take him places and, no, I do not give him any ideas. After making a film like 3 Idiots, I have been letting him pursue his own dreams,” chuckles Hirani.
