have been portrayed sans the
glamour element.What inspired him to pen
this book was the fascination
with actors and actresses
from the film industry and
the entire bubble of glamour
around them. This craze
for the film industry was
visible everywhere be it
on billboards, rickshaws,
restaurants etc. Through this
book, Fawzan provides people
with a microscopic perspective on
everything non-glamorous about the
film industry.28
