ABP Network Ideas Of India Live: ABP Network’s annual summit ‘Idea of India’ has started from today in the country’s financial capital Mumbai. Celebrities from many areas of the country will participate in this event, which started with the theme of People’s Agenda, for two days. Many stalwarts from the entertainment world will also participate in this conference. Madhur Bhandarkar, Vipul Shah and Leena Yadav participated in the first day of ‘Idea of India’. During this time, are the films of these greats dividing or uniting us? Have expressed your opinion on this issue.
What does Vipush Shah say on whether films are dividing us or uniting us?
Vipul Shah said, “I think there is political awareness in India now. People are more involved in politics now. That’s why some films are not political by nature but they turn into political debates, as far as films divide us or As far as unification is concerned, earlier there was no political lining in the films and they were displayed in the open. But today it is not so. Everyone has their own political choice and ideology. But this does not mean that we are getting divided.”
Vipul Shah said the truth is not allowed to be shown
He further said that it is being said about Bollywood that it is getting divided. But it is not so at all. He further said, we may not agree with some films, some will not agree with my views. But this does not mean that we are against each other and we are getting divided. Vipul further said, “When I made Kerala Story, people said that I am against Muslims. I have made 18 films. Only two films have a Muslim villain. The rest have a Hindu villain. So, did I work against it?” No one can deny what happened to those three girls.
Should we stop making such films? No. Kerala Story was the true story of three people, if you are living in a society where you are not allowed to show the truth, then you are living in a very dangerous society. ,
Madhur Bhandarkar said the division has always been there
Madhur Bhandarkar said that we work with all types of people, cast and creed in the industry. It never happens that we will work with this or not with that. We work with everyone but what happens is that what I have just noted is that I made the film Indu Sarkar on the backdrop of Emergency, so I did a lot of research in it.
I also visited Nehru Memorial in Delhi. And I saw there that even during the time of Emergency, there was division in the film industry. If we talk about such people, there were some people who supported Mrs. Gandhi and some also opposed her. Even some veteran actors had formed their own party. That division has always been there. But at that time there were not so many channels, there was no social media, about which we talk so much.
Mudhar Bhandarkar said people had different opinions on ‘Animal’ also
Madhur Bhandarkar further said, “Even at home, some people like an actor, some recently there was a lot of debate on the film Animal, some liked this film and some even criticized it. Everyone has their own views. There are. I think the industry is one but everyone has their own views and they are important.”
What did Leena Yadav say on the politicization of Bollywood?
Filmmaker Leena Yadav expressed her views on the politicization of Bollywood. He said that films cannot be made without politics. Every filmmaker keeps politics at the fore in his story. Bollywood is not a community. Filmmakers do not talk to each other. Everyone is under pressure to clarify their stance on social media.
