## Caption

For two decades, Imtiaz Ali (imtiazaliofficial) has held captive the hearts of manic pixie dream girls, film bros, rebels regardless of cause, rock music lovers, poets daring to rhyme, daydreamers, yearners. But who would have thought the filmmaker finds delving into love “quite boring”? The director, most recently of Main Vaapas Aaunga, is our latest digital cover star. 

Ali goes into reflection mode for Esquire India, talking men, love, companionship, ego, vulnerability, generational bias and how much he likes to actually reveal about himself, in a moody, sprawling visual narration inspired by the man himself.
