Who is Anees Bazmee? Who is Anees Bazmee

This year hasn't been a great one for Bollywood. One of the most talked about films Tashan proved to be a complete dud. Films, which people presumed would be hits such as Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, have been complete duds at the box-office. Sarkar Raj wasn't a write-off but it wasn't a superhit either. With the sole exception of Jannat and Race it's been a pretty bleak year at the box-office.

Now all eyes have been on Singh is Kinng, the blockbuster of this year. Even as Akshay is being proclaimed the new king (Hail Akshay the new king of Bollywood) and the film has been sold at a record price for all territories Singh is Kinng, Akshay Kumar, Katrina have all been in the news for many months. The music sales have also been brisk but with typical Pritam fare, that's only to be expected. In short everything about the film has been under scrutiny except the director.
A lot of people unconnected with the industry may not even be aware of the director's identity. And for the select few who have heard of Anees Bazmee, they don't have any information beyond that. So who is Anees Bazmee?
