Rajkumar Hirani is hands-down one of the most important directors in the history of Hindi cinema. The reason why we say ‘important’ goes to the fact that his journey as a filmmaker has played a critical role in shaping Hindi cinema. It is often stated that the 2000s was one of the finest decades for Bollywood. While actors like Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham, Sushant Singh Rajput, and others made their debut in the 2000s, many filmmakers like Vishal Bharadwaj, Shoojit Sircar, Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, and many more.
It was truly a golden age for Hindi cinema, and just like all these renowned names, the critically acclaimed director, Rajkumar Hirani also entered showbiz in the 2000s. It was on December 19, 2003, when Rajkumar Hirani made his debut as a director in Bollywood with his film, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. The movie won numerous awards, rejuvenated Sanjay Dutt’s acting career, launched Boman Irani in Bollywood, cemented its position as a cult classic, and made Rajkumar Hirani every actor’s dream director overnight.
