Anupam Kher is furious and he is making every effort possible to show his anger and frustration to put across his message that we Indians are responsible for the sorry state of affairs that surround us. While addressing the issue of creative gagging by political parties and self-appointed religious leaders - the case in point being that of Vishwaroopam - Anupam said, "We Indians are responsible for our sorry state. We are used to slavery and taking nonsense from all - Mughals, British and now our own people."
The actor, speaking at a press meet in Delhi, further said, "I'm very sad to hear that in UP, the Samajwadi Party is mulling over banning the Hindi version of Vishwaroopam. Today it is religion, tomorrow it could be anything. No matter what kind of films you make - aap dharmik filmein banaye ya samaajik filmein, if people have to point out something, they will do it in any case. And because we're giving power to them, by paying heed to what they are saying, tomorrow anyone can stand up and say 'why do you have this song in the film?' Or 'why is the woman dressed in a certain dress?'"
Terming the controversy "ridiculous", Anupam said, "We, as the people of India are shamelessly spineless. As a former Censor Board chief, I condemn the banning of Vishwaroopam. We have a body called the Censor Board that takes care of all such things - if they have cleared the film, I don't see what the problem is in releasing it? Why should a director send scripts to ten different people for approval? That is not right, and it feels we are going back to the Dark Ages. Earlier, movies were viewed as a source of entertainment - now, they are dissected on the basis of religion and caste and what not, and the government actually listens to such people! This is bizarre. I'm sorry, but then I'll have to say that our leaders are indulging in appeasement politics. And because of them, we have to please such people."
Beefed up security at delhi theatres showing the film
Vishwaroopam's shows on the first day in Delhi went off smoothly, although we noticed beefed up security outside Odeon in CP. The first show at PVR Saket, which was delayed, apparently had nothing to do with the film's ban in the South. Rahul Singh, VP, operations PVR, said, "The delay might be due to a technical issue. Sometimes, rolling too, takes time. It has nothing to with the controversies in the South. In fact, the screening of this film is normal in Delhi."
R K Mehrotra, general manager, Delite Cinemas, said, "Just to take precaution, we have informed the police that we are screening this movie."
