Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

There is no doubt  that Naseerudin Shah is one the finest actors to ever grace the Indian Celluloid but ever since his directorial debut the man has been stepping on everyone’s toes with his unflattering opinions which range from SRK’s and Aamir’s acting skills to the Hindi film industry in general. Here are some excerpts from Hindustan Times: My advice; Naseer Bhai tone it down a bit!

“I wanted to direct a movie since my NSD days but I wasn’t sure of the audience and the producer for my kind of movie. In Yun Hota To Kya Hota, I have tried communicate a tale that I would like to hear or see”.

“Yun Hota... has materialised just the way I had visualised, sans any exotic locales, flashy costumes or dance numbers. I owe the movie to my actors, who gave their hundred percent.”

“This industry has a fetish for slotting films in genres and categories. I despise the idea. Neither am I eyeing any award, because to get an award, especially a National Award, one has to be loud, cry a lot, shout or be demented, nor my film boasts of any such characters.”
