Salman v/s Bhansali uproar who to blame

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,December 03 2010]

Since B-town macho Khan Salman made comment on Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his film ‘Guzaarish’, it has become the talk of the town with people having their own take on this issue.

Salman commented on ‘Guzaarish’ by saying, “Arre, usme toh makhi udd rahi thi, lekin koi machhar bhi nahi gaya dekhne. Arre, koi kutta bhi nahin gaya, (Even though there's a fly buzzing around the film, not even a mosquito went to see the film) referring to the film's poor box office collections.

Hrithik has also jumped in the controversy and he even gave an advice to Salman by saying, “Heroes don't gloat, they should show some grace.”

Agreed, it must be hurting for Hrithik to hear such comments as he has given his life’s best performance in the film which is no doubt a well made film.

But every coin has two sides and we take you back to history to let you know what really happened and its up to you to decide who is actually to be blamed…

Bhansali and Hrithik had either forgotten or they don’t want to appreciate the fact that it was because of Salman who during the good days gifted Sanjay Leela Bhansali a DVD of Christopher Nolan's The Prestige, which later on became ‘Guzaarish’ starring Hrithik and Aishwarya Rai.

Bhansali as a director thought Hrithik is a better choice for the role. Salman didn’t like it as Bhansali owes a lot to the kind hearted muscle man of Bollywood.

Bhansali debut ‘Khamoshi’ starring Nana Patekar, Manisha Koirala and Salman being a brilliant film bombed at the B.O, even the power of Nana and his last success of ‘Krantiveer’ couldn’t save the film.

There were reports of people breaking chairs in Maharashtra because they felt cheated as they were deprived of Nana’s dialogues as he played the character of deaf and dumb. But Salman had faith in Bhansali and that time and he fully supported him for ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’.

The movie earned money and after that Bhansali and Salman never came together for a film if we ignore the forgettable guest appearance of Salman in ‘Saawariya’.

Bhansali stated following his creative artistic instincts which were inspired from national and international stories and cinema.

For his next he signed Shahrukh for ‘Devdas’ as he thought SRK was a better choice the same way he thought Hrithik was a better choice for ‘Guzaarish’.

As a filmmaker Bhansali may be right but as a friend we don’t know.

It’s natural for a person like Salman who is said to be emotional as he thinks from heart and gets involved deeply feeling ditched.

People close to Salman argue that his comments have been taken in a wrong way. They say that the occasion was an event to applaud and appreciate the achievements of physically handicapped and he wanted them to feel better and give them the feeling that they have motivated and brought the good in Bhansali as a filmmaker.

Well they may be right as Salman is associated with an organization called ‘Being Human’ and B-town macho Khan was just human when he released his grudges on his old pal Bhansali and that’s what makes him popular as he speaks the language of his heart in this manipulative world of Bollywood.

So who to blame for this Salman for speaking his heart out in public or Bhansali for making a brilliant film which sadly didn’t earn moneyÂ
