It"s said that God created the world in six days and on the 7th day, He rested. Well, He was God after all. Now, for the mortals, Filmfare, has managed to pull a coup of sorts, by getting together the likes of as many as eight directors (par excellence) together! In their edition dated October 2007, they have managed to get together the likes of Karan Johar, Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Farhan Akhtar, Rakesh Roshan, and Rakeysh Mehra, all under one roof ...and how!

The duration? Well, the whole exercise took them a whopping three full months, 75 unanswered calls and a staggering 89,000 SMSes to achieve this dream come true! The D-Day was decided on August 6th 2007, only after making sure that everything (read 'EVERYTHING") had to be just nothing short of purrfect! It was Jatin Kampani"s lenses that did the trick and we are not talking about any photography trick! They came… he captured! They saw…… he captured, they conquered… he captured. What could be more apt a title than to call the cover as 'The Director"s Cut"!
