I respect Mr Bachchan's sensitivity: Ram Gopal Varma

After watching Ram Gopal Varma's 'The Attacks Of 26/11', starring Nana Patekar, Amitabh Bachchan's emotions went from anger to shock, which he expressed on a microblogging site. RGV talks about Big B's reactions and why he wanted him to see the film.

Well, to start with, as soon as I assembled the first cut of the full film - The Attacks Of 26/11 - I showed it to Mr Bachchan for two reasons. First, due to my long association with him, I know he will give me an honest opinion. And secondly, since I respect his sensitivity, I just wanted to see how he reacts to a film that is based on such a momentous and terrifying real-life event.

I remember him mentioning on his blog at that time that he felt like sleeping with his gun under his pillow, which pretty much represented every Mumbaikar's sentiments, post those attacks. I was kind of taken aback to see how strongly he reacted. He couldn't speak for a minute or so because he was choked with emotion, which he mentioned in his tweets too. I would think the mixture of anger, shock and grief that he felt, was primarily due to the fact that no matter how much one heard about the incidents, how many books one might have read or how many documentaries one would have seen, only a feature film can really give a correct emotional perspective to the said incidents and that's what Mr Bachchan connected to.

The emotion... it's one thing to hear that Kasab gunned down scores of men, women and children at CST, but it's another thing to actually see him do it. It's one thing to blame the police for not being able to prevent or control those incidents in time, but it's another thing to see with your own eyes their justifiable helplessness.

All in all, my intention was to honestly and truthfully recreate those attacks and to make the audience feel what the people who were present on the spot at that time felt. And, gauging by the reactions of those who've seen the film so far, I'm happy that I succeeded.

The Attacks Of 26/11, presented by Eros International and Alumbra Entertainment Production, releases March 1.
