Priyanka defends Bajirao Mastani against Shiv Sena
Recently somone from the Shiv Sena party made an complaint against the release of Bajirao Mastani, stating the movie was not historically accurate and demanding cuts to be made in the film which hasn't even released yet or has finished it's editting.
Priyanka Chopra, who plays Bajirao's wife in the movie (Kashibai) was asked about this, and this is what she had to say:
''For me, whatever I have done is completely and absolutely going by Bhansali’s vision. The film is based on a book and the book is inspired by the life of a legend from the 1700s. It is entirely a director’s vision and prerogative about how he wants to present a particular story. And that’s what happens in a democratic country. How are we to say what Bajirao’s personality was in his personal life? How do we know he didn’t dance, smile or didn’t express happiness in his private life? We have to allow a director’s vision and imagination to portray what he thinks could have happened. We must just see it as nothing but the cinematic vision of an extremely prolific filmmaker.''
This is not the first time the Shiv Sena have intervered in Bollywood. One can argue that there are far more important issues to be addressed than to pick and choose what can and can't be shown in a movie. What do you think?
