Prakash JhaÂs promotional woes
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,April 05 2010]
If oneÂs film is based on serious stuff as politics, then they can be assured of the difficulties that will arise concerning it. Looks like Prakash JhaÂs political saga ÂRajneeti is soon going to attract problems.
The filmmaker had the first taste of it recently, when he planned to organise a press meet at Purana Qila, to promote ÂRajneeti in Delhi. However, he was denied the permission owing to several reasons. But not single of them seemed to have been genuine according to Jha and feels its all because of the theme of the movie. ÂFirst we were told we needed a government departmentÂs recommendation, explained Jha, ÂHaving presented that, we were told it has to be a government function.
We were finally told that due to security issues, we canÂt have the conference there. Nobody says that on your face, but they might be apprehensive, this being a movie based on politics and people opposing it... .Â
Hmm, some kind of politics going behindÂ
