Chaitanya Tamhane is polishing his magical skills

The filmgoers have seen his creative acumen in his debut film 'Court', which won director Chaitanya Tamhane a National Award recently.
But, not many know that this young filmmaker is also a magician in real life, who is quite passionate about this particular genre of art. Currently on a vacation, Chaitanya told us: ���I���m an amateur magician and have been practising the art of magic for almost seven-eight years.And now, I���m planning to hone my magical skills and learn some new tricks during my vacation.���
When asked the reason behind his love for magic, Chaitanya replied: ���It is an intriguing art, which has very precise and scientific connotations and you can make people see things through your eyes, using it. In fact, I find similar traits in cinema; that is one reason that keeps me fascinated to both the mediums.���
