22. Is what happened to SLB (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) really that sad ??
I don't go on facebook too much . I think it is colossal waste of time. But I go there once in a while just to check my notifications and check what is happening around. Most of the pages that i have liked are dog videos and i watch dog videos and photos whole day. That can never make you said. But what happened to Bhansali was not something that effected. I am from Film industry, Ok i agree i am little on the periphery of the film industry and not exactly inside it but i hear stories and have met people inside. Bhansali is very arrogant and he wants things his way, that may works on his set because everyone working for him is scared of him but that does not work on world that is outside. No one is untouchable. you cannot just make anything in the name of art. Frankly i do not like Bhansali, I never have. He is not an artist that he thinks he is and he is not the artist that everyone thinks of him. It is just my personal opinion. I am not supporting Karni sena for what they have done. It is not that i am diplomatic but i sincerely do not endorse the act of any group whose whole and sole intention is to create ruckus and chaos. Who would support them. It is a politically motivated move. Read about Karni Sena's history and you will know about it yourself. They were formed in 2006 and since then they have been harassing one person or another. I have harassed Ashutosh Gowarikar during Jodha Akhbar shoot, they have harassed Ekta Kapoor, they also tried to ruin an event of Sonia Gandhi and they are good at it like other groups. But they only target people that matter because of course, no one kicks a dead dog.
They were wrong but asking them to be reasonable is more stupid because they were not there for peace march or got to court to settle matters. Nothing happens by Peace march. Gandhi ji was not a the only person responsible for India's independence and India was not the only country that got independence at that time. World war had made Britishers weak and they had to give independence to the countries they were holding like slaves. So first of all we have to be practical and stop fooling ourselves.
Just like Terrorists justify everything through their religion, i feel similarly artists justify everything through creative freedom. There is no such thing as creative freedom. Given absolute freedom nothing will ever work. Restrictions are what create great things but it works in a very ironical way. You ask someone to be free and he has no where to go but you ask the same person to tell where he cannot go, suddenly he knows where he want to go.
Bhansali first played with Devdas and there was no apology. Create you own fucking story genius. Don't try to cash on someone else's. Paro and Chandramukhi never met. Mastani and Kashibai never danced together. Don't pick fragments of history and play ti yourself without disclaimer. don't try to bend rules according to your comfort zone. Tarantino played with History in Inglorious Bastards but then we knew and he told that it was his version of history, not that he wanted his film to be blockbuster so he put two superstar actress to dance with each other. You are no better than TRP hungry Tv serials and filmfare awards.
Creativity, where the hell is creativity? It is business and you are doing it. You are like those priests of church who exploited people in the name of religion. You are exploiting people in the name of creativity.
I feel really bad thing happened to you but it has happened for the first time with you and in from industry it is a common thing to happen. I have been on film sets where people threatened to close the film is one more scene was shot. It happens everyday. You cannot please everyone but that does not mean that you try to provoke everyone too.
