It is also learnt from media reports that the director's blockbusters Fashion and Heroine were also screened at the festival. The critically acclaimed director, famous for adapting real life stories into movies, has endeared his fans with movies like Page 3, Corporate, Chandni Bar and Traffic Signal.
