Aamir khan's fanaa banned in gujarat
• If the sentiments of certain groups of people were hurt by Aamir's statements, as is being claimed, they should have reacted immediately when he made them for the first time. Their delayed reaction, obviously leads one to doubt the true reasons behind the flare-up. If the banning of the film in Gujarat is an outcome of the ongoing fight between the distributor of the film and the multiplex owners on the modalities of profit sharing, let it be made clear. ... The producers of the film have invested money in a business venture and will break even in any case — as Aamir commented, if people want to enjoy the film, they will do so by whatever means.
• So we have a citizen of India who used his democratic right to express himself. And the result is that his professional work is being targeted? I feel sorry for the people of Gujarat who would now have to find some other ways to watch this movie.
• Fanaa has been produced by Yash-Raj Films and directed by Kunal Kohli. These people have more at stake in the film than Aamir Khan, and the protesters have no business punishing them for something that Aamir said. ... Aamir has already got his money from the film and has not much to lose even if the film bombs at the box office, or is not shown in some parts of the country, for whatever reason.
