It’s a tough job being a Bollywood director. You are supposed to create at least 2 hours of entertainment that will not bore the audiences and lead to multi-crore losses for the producers. But, some directors can do their job fine, and on top of that, they can do other jobs too.

Let’s take a look at some directors who multi-task.
