Fortune India Magazine - May 2015

In this issue

This issue promises to be ‘different’ for Fortune India in a big way – It is our first cover story that encapsulates the ‘Business of Bollywood’!

In possibly one of the last interviews Salman Khan gave before the verdict, Khan tells associate editor Pavan Lall that there’s a “constant jihad” within him between the person (or character) he is, and the one his fans want him to be.
