Directors are breaking stereotypes, brewing in fresh concepts every release, mish-mashing two genres which gives an entertaining twist making the audience look forward to their next projects and much more. Some who stand out of the crowd and have delivered evergreen content are always remembered.

Here we look back at 5 such stellar directors who’ve recently delivered stories that are breaking stereotypes:

Raj & DK

This duo is all about delivering content that appeals to the masses and is a break from the stacked content available to watch on the internet. Some of the memorable content includes ‘The Family Man’ which stole the OTT spotlight. The series has a huge fanbase of its own. Viewers looked forward to the next season eagerly. The zombie action-comedy ‘Go Goa Gone’ had its own moments of laughter and horror which the audience enjoyed. They’re going to come up with ‘Farzi’ soon and the buzz around that is superb.

Anurag Kashyap has been giving up projects which not many other filmmakers would have dared to make. Films like ‘Paanch’ or ‘Black Friday’ got delayed massively but even when you see them today they’re master pieces. Then there’re projects like ‘Gulaal’, ‘Dev D’ and ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’ which established him as one of the topmost filmmakers of the country. He has never looked back since. He has gone on to deliver projects back-to-back and all of them have been massively popular. He will soon be coming with ‘Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat’.

A visionary director with a stunning array of projects like the biographical ‘Super 30’ which crossed the 200Cr. mark and was led by Hrithik Roshan where his character received worldwide applause. Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Queen’ is still living fresh in our hearts. It was not just a film but an emotion we all felt and the message was delivered perfectly by the director. He also came with the deeply emotional ‘Goodbye’ last year which starrer Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.

A storyteller with out-of-the-box ideas, like his latest direction ‘Tanaav’. The audience praised the director for the brilliantly portrayed series and the key focus was the human aspects. ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’ being a chaotic love story had received immense love from the audiences. ‘Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahin’ was another that the audiences enjoyed. He has been making such brilliant projects since the 1980s.

Anees Bazmee

The director has hit the right spot when it comes to tickling funny bones. ‘Welcome’s hilarious clips still make multiple rounds on social media and is one of the most iconic films to definitely watch. Salman Khan starrer ‘Ready’ had us like no other. The film made a mark at the box-office. The horror-comedy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and Tabu had the audience gripped. The climax stunned everyone.
