Niranjan Iyengar’s body of work belongs to the second kind.
From journalism to screenwriting, from styling to poetry, from dialogue-writing for some of Hindi cinema’s most iconic films to hosting his own talk show, his journey has never followed a straight line, but it has always followed curiosity.
In this candid conversation, Pooja sits down with the man behind the words in films like Kal Ho Naa Ho, Wake Up Sid, My Name is Khan, Jism, Heroine, Paap, and more to uncover what it really takes to write for cinema, collaborate with giants, build longevity in a volatile industry, and keep evolving without losing your voice.
They speak about:
Writing for Shah Rukh Khan
Working with Karan Johar
Screenwriting vs dialogue
And why the audience never sees the thousand unseen decisions that create a single scene
If you love films, creativity, writing or simply enjoy listening to someone who has lived many artistic lives… this episode will stay with you.
