The Stranger in the Mirror is\n the memoir of the legendary producer-director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.\n Co-written by noted marketer-author, Reeta Ramamurthy Gupta, this book\n chronicles the richly experiential, multi-faceted life of one of India’s most\n celebrated and feted directors who has made critically acclaimed films like\n Rang De Basanti, Delhi-6 and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.   Though it may seem natural for an\n autobiography to have a primary narrator, what makes this book truly unique\n is its many narrators. It is this multi-dimensional, multi-character\n narration that will enable readers to delve deep and truly understand what it\n means to be as unselfish as Mehra, a man who gleefully steps back and lets\n the experts do their job.   Peppered\n with anecdotes from Mehra’s life—from the chai-biscuit college days to the\n popping of the proverbial champagne—it implores readers to pay attention to\n understand who is narrating, because the plot may have just shifted a little\n bit, just like his movies. At the end, what really stands out is how\n effortless the journey has actually been. And herein lies the greatest\n paradox because there is no lack of perseverance in this journey. The\n miraculous manner in which things fall into place naturally, like pieces of a\n pre-ordained puzzle with the universe acting as the ‘sutradhar’, is the\n fulcrum around which the joy of this remarkable journey is built.
