anyway the article is ridiculous. 😆 it makes me laugh.

just an FYI - this is an issue more because he is from ROYAL HERITAGE and no where relates to "untouchables" nothing relates to any religion per se

"because he is of Muslim royal heritage"

🤔 hmm! its perspective dude you preferred to choose what you wanted I did what I want. btw, there was a news coverage few days back where the whole story was he being royal. That said, definitely quoting that word was not so needed here

@prakashjha1 Was recalling impactful scenes of Aarakshan between Sr B, Saif & Manoj. Left an indelible impression. Volatile & hard hitting!
about 2 hours ago via Power Twitter in reply to prakashjha1

Watched portions of Prakash Jha's 'Aarakshan', *ing Big B, Saif, Deepika, Prateik, Manoj Bajpai. Explosive stuff. Came back v impressed. about 22 hours ago via Power Twitter

I don't think this is going to be that big an issue. Saif's Sikh look in LAK, Akshay's look in some film, more recently Dhobi issue with Aamir Khan too was objected and later resolved.
But I'm curious to know how Jha incorporated Mandal commission protests. If that's not done right then the movie might get banned in UP and Bihar. Jha in his interview mentioned that even though the issue in Aarakshan is serious, it's mainstream cinema. Let's see.

So what exactly they want now ? Reservation in Bollywood too ? Dalit character by Dalit only ? 😆

^ Minnie: I don't think a mainstream movie would tackle a serious issue in a way you expect. I'm sure Jha will highlight the reservation angle through his characters and then add usual love [upper caste girl-lower caste boy] angle and drama.

Also, workplace derision. Maybe Manoj Bajpai's character [upper caste] might ridicule Saif Ali Khan's character [lower caste] for getting a job through aarakshan (reservation) even when the guy is truly deserving.

I think even though the content is serious, this movie might stay mainstream in its treatment just like Gangaajal and Apaharan.
