A whiteboard that hangs in his office in Juhu could be the metaphor for Alan McAlex바카라™s life. His career began from being a camera assistant on the sets of Ghajini to becoming a line producer and, then, a producer and it always involved wiping the slate clean. It wasn바카라™t planned. He was born in Saudi Arabia and moved to India right before the Gulf War. His father sent him to meet a friend of his in Delhi and his neighbours had given him a gift that was to be delivered to someone in Noida. He met a woman there who was going for a film editing course and he tagged along. He enrolled in 1998. He later became interested in camera and lighting and worked for years as an assistant and then became a line producer.
Until 2010, McAlex, 46, was among the below-the-line crew list and then he entered the realm of those above-the-line.
