In a recent interview, filmmaker Siddharth Anand looked back on the 6-year anniversary of his blockbuster action thriller 'War'. Anand, who directed the 2019 film produced by Yash Raj Films, considers it a pivotal moment in his career.
"War has been probably the most important point in my career," Anand stated.
