Teesri Aankh - a staged controversy?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 24 2006]

Staged controversy is one lethal weapon that Bollywood has started perfecting over last few years. Non-cooperation from stars, changes in scripts, rumored romances, posters - just about everything is being utilized as an important ingredient for creating and then solving controversies in order to bring a movie into limelight.

In last one week, there has been a lot of press coverage given to the controversy surrounding the actual hero of 'Teesri Aankh - The Hidden Camera'. While the hero (if we can call him one in this case) Sunny Deol insists that he just has a guest appearance in the film, producer-director Harry Baweja has gone on record to say that it is indeed Sunny paaji who would be seen from first to the last frame.

Though it is quite obvious that so far the hype for 'Teesri Aankh' wasn't anything substantial, the new 'hero' theory has certainly got the movie into limelight. Is it yet another stage controversy in the making?
