About BV, I'm pretty sure I criticized Anurag Kashyap. He made that movie to show people what filmmaking is and that's what happens when you're arrogant. In fact, that whole Phantom gang, I don't like anyone of them because of their holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to filmmaking.
In the case of Rangoon, most people blamed Kangana because of how she was going on and on about being an artiste, being some sort of a leader in feminist filmmaking, etc. That's not what I said. That's more or less what she's been saying. So, yeah, it was a case of a loud-mouth getting her tails burnt. That doesn't mean VB wasn't to be blamed. He was. It was his vision.
As for Fan, I've stated countless times that the movie went to ruins in the 2nd half. SRK as Gaurav was fab; it's still his best performance this decade, but what the heck was that second half? It's totally the director's fault. But as a SRK fan, you have ask where his judgment is these days because unlike Salman, SRK is a lot smarter.
So, actors' make decisions when signing a movie. Once the movie is in the production phase, it's the director's call unless the actor is overpowering like Aamir is (and he's usually good at it). Salman's fault is that he can't differentiate between a good script and a bad one - when it comes to meaningful cinema. I don't know how he stumbled upon Bajrangi. When it's masala or action, or comedy, he's okay with his choices. Not when it's artistic cinema.
Regardless, that's not the point I was making. My post wasn't about who was bashing who. It was asking the OP about Kabir's position in this debacle.
