Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti in conversation (Ambika Verma for The Juggernaut)

How Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti Create Magic

The filmmakers chatted about what makes their partnership work, creating ‘The Archies,’ that alternate ending to ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,’ and what’s next.

Riz Ahmed. Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Padma Lakshmi. Amitav Ghosh. Fatima Bhutto. Mira Nair. Ajay Bhatt, the man who co-invented the USB port. Nisha Ganatra. Aneesh Chaganty.

We’ve interviewed and profiled these incredible icons and many more, diving into their personal histories and professional accomplishments, their desires and fears, and what they still haven’t figured out.

Why it matters: We know you can read a profile about someone almost anywhere. But a Juggernaut profile cuts to the chase. We don’t explain why the person is important or talk about representation. We assume you know, and that we can explore our histories in a world where there’s more to us than parental support or where we went to school.
