Not surprisingly, then, Pirates 2 is a seamless sequel, a scary seafaring adventure that’s virtually indistinguishable, visually, from the first.

I get to do something that I love. I think it’s a privilege to be able to make movies. That’s something that I have never taken for granted. And I get that with J.J.

By the time I went to the University I was oversaturated by them. I decided to pursue an academic career at New Delhi University, till I had an opportunity and some down town to work in a place called the cinema workshop which made documentary films in Delhi for the government in India.
