Finally, Bhansali speaks out!
Noted film expert, author and NDTV's consulting editor, films, Anupama Chopra interviewed Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Paris. The show, aired over the weekend, featured clips of Bhansali's mega musical Padmavati, being staged in Paris, and was also successful in getting Bhansali to finally react to a lot of things.
Sporting a kurta and a shawl, Bhansali, seemed prepared to face the questions when Chopra asked him about the barbs directed at him in recent times. She was referring to the Filmfare award ceremonies where Saawariya and Bhansali were the objects of ridicule, especially in the hands of star anchors Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan. (Read all about it: SRK and Saif's Filmfare antics )
"They have no dignity," said Bhansali. "It makes me upset when people (like Shah Rukh) who have worked with me, say and do the things they did. I cannot ever imagine Mr Bachchan or Naseeruddin Shah to do something like this," said Bhansali, adding, "I respect them a lot." The 'mockery' as Bhansali put it, was completely uncalled for. Not stopping at that, Bhansali went on to express his displeasure about the platform that gave them the license to behave in such an unsavoury fashion and the people "who found the whole thing funny and sat through it all, laughing." Such undignified behaviour affects the credibility of the award ceremony as well, he added. "I don't know why they behaved like that," he sighed.
Seema are u srk's chamchi , oso was hit only bcoz people wanted to see deeepika , or else the movie was a trash, srk had no right to comment on viday balan dress sense , did u see what trash was gauri khan wearing on teh film fare day , where is your age maturity srk wen you were ripping down sanjay , dont forget there is another friday will pul u down and you will go on going down . Even you well paid meida guys and your so called spokesperson karan johar or farah khan would be of no help to you , your arrogance have gone too far , you wanted people to laugh at your cheap jokes by you showing your backsides , aww cummon grow up
Cool it bhansali's chamcha's.... These anti-srk guys, though a miniscule minority, use every occasion to deride him! They don't seem to have any other job.... But unfortunately for them that is only making srk and his fans more stronger. So keep trying guys...
filmfare award ceremony was the best ever this time as it was not the usual drama and boring hosting. Srk and his producers came up with something very innovative and everyone in the audience was having fun. There are always people who are negative when something new is tried and that seems to be the issue.
as for bhansali, where was his ethics when he was pulling down srk at every available opportunity during release of oso and saawariya. At that time, srk didn't say a word and took it all with a pinch of salt. Now when there's just some fun poked at bhansali, he's fuming. Come on bhansali, keep your ego wrapped in a little ladies hanky (i'll give you one if you need. Have some old ones lying around.) and be sportive. If you can try to do a big harm to someone (srk in this case) by spreading negative publicity about srk and oso during the release time, srk is very well justified to poke fun at your small ego and your over-confidence.. Your movie saawariya, in spite of all the negative thins you said about srk, went to the garbage bin and oso, on the other hand, became bollywood's biggest hit of all times. That was the most beautiful reply srk could've given to cheap guys like you....
Film fare award is an award ceremony , which ever movie was good got awards its not a platform to poke a fun at others , or else all award ceremony will lose its charm , no one will come to such kind of award ceremony , mind you next year i dont think there will be stars who will come . If srk had any issues with saawariy he shd have told to media who are already in his monthly salary lists . And his so called freind who went too personal by speak about sanjay's mother . Mind you guru was far better movie then oso , mind you guys hrithik/abhishek/shahid kapoor are far better actors tehn srk
Lighten up bhansali, i am a great fan of your movies, but srk even made fun of himself, you are just jealous, because your movie flopped, i still think you are a great filmmaker, (i still watch hum dil chuke sanam whenever i am in the mood for bollywood) but you are a sore loser.
Basking in the glory of his parisian opera??? What glory? The following one found in the guardian ?
"a director of real flair and imagination might breathe life into the piece. But the châtelet production has been handed over to an all-indian team led by mumbai film director sanjay leela bhansali, who has simply come up with a series of inert tableaux, to which some coarse acting and risible choreography adds nothing at all. It is just bollywood camp, and even the on-stage presence of a horse, an elephant and a young tiger (the python promised in the cast list sadly did not materialise) as well as some very dodgy moustaches is not enough compensation."
and the ones published in the french papers are even less flattering, they range from "bad taste", ( a capital crime in my country), to "an absence of actors' direction that ends up annihilating the drama of a story that is yet so poignant "...
mr bhansali has demonstrated once again that he is only a pompous "petit maître", blaming his failures not on his own shortcomings but on everyone else or lying through his teeth to transform a geographically distant flop into a triumph. The modicum of talent he may have had at one stage has long been drowned by his bloated ego.
Credibility of filmfare awards????????? I m sure mr .Bhansali will never ever attend any filmfare award function in future coz they ve lost their credibilty.Phewwwwww!!!!!!!!
He made fun of farah khans triplet that was born for 2 weeks ago,he made fun of ashutosh jodha-akbar and he made fun of karan johar(his best friend).It was good at sanjay,he tried to turn the people against king khan before the release of saawariya and oso when he said who is srk to say that he can crush everyone but let me tell you something srk is the face of bollywood,well lets say he is the industry!People sayed ab was one man industry,well let mee tell you what a man industry is,it is you decide what is hit and flop.The bachans did not had a single hit since the war came out against king khan,saawariya became flop of his attitude against king king khan!It did not effect srk a single thing cause his 2 movies became the most grossing of 2007(oso holds the record)
Sameer , you gone mad , srk is an actor , but is he so dumb or does not use his pwn brains , this is not a movie man its film fair award show , you are degrading another person another movie , why he did not have farah khan in his script , why he did not say word of oso , are u stupid sameee, if any one watched the film fare show , woul;d have been shcoked to see srk 's arrogance . Sanjay gave him devdas , part of is popularity . God bless srk he is £$%"£$^ up guy . Join the hate club of srk
Srk is really very arrogant....Hw can one can comment on the director like sanjay.....I think srk is nothing as compare to aamir khan
Srk you are finsihed , you are 43 year old budhha and u behave like a 6 year old kid , oso was a horrible movie , you pushed the movie in people throat, oso had only one plus point deepkia people went to see her not srk .
