Rajkumar Hirani is being at a podium with the most renowned filmmakers of the world, which is an achievement and a testimony of how he is a celebrated filmmaker with his artistry. More so, another feather in his cap is when 'Sanju' was screened at the film symposium.

With a popularity base for his projects across the borders in Asian markets like China, Hirani is definitely one name who has taken India on the global map for cinema and has created a mark with his artistry. Receiving accolades for his recent movie 'Sanju', the screening at an International podium like Shanghai is a massive achievement.

The director has given the industry some of the classic projects including the globally acclaimed 3 Idiots and will be on the jury panel alongside Italian director Paolo Genovese and Chinese actress Zhao. They join the previously announced jury president, 2014 Cannes Palme d'Or winner Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the Turkish director behind last year's `The Wild Pear Tree.`

With his constant efforts to take India to every possible platform where he is invited as the respected jury, Rajkumar Hirani was also recently announced as a jury President for the Malaysia International Film Festival which he will attend later, this year.
