After Sanjay Leela Bhansali\u2019s mega project Padmaavat, next on the target is Manikarnika: The queen of Jhansi<\/strong>. Kangana Ranaut starrer period drama is being claimed for de-glorifying the history. But the question is why are these movies being targeted one after another?<\/p>\n

Unveiling the root cause behind, Karan Oberoi-who has always been vocal about his thoughts-says, \u201cThe problem with us as a country is the fact that we have always been a little intolerant of things that didn\u2019t conform to our ideology. And we are more than happy to impose those things on people perforce if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"StopBut what’s surprising is a sudden upsurge in the voices that question the freedom of expression in the film industry. Speaking of the same, Karan says, \u201cInitially these voices were subdued because there was no way to vent our frustrations on others. Social media has made it easy by attaching a loudspeaker to everyone\u2019s backside. The media which needs feed 24\/ 7 serves as a platform form those angry morons who force their opinions on others just like they are doing in the case of \u2018Manikarnika.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking further, he says, \u201cFilmmakers have a lot of money and jobs riding on their projects so they succumb quite easily to the pressure tactics of these goons who haven\u2019t read a single book on the so-called \u201c culture\u201d or \u201c history ” that they are trying to preserve.<\/p>\n

He went on to warn that the anger and hostility we are cultivating as a race are dangerous signs of where we could be- if not checked on time.<\/p>\n

Urging people to think logically, Karan ends up saying, \u201cEach one of us needs to understand that the narrative of filmmakers and the stories that need to be told cannot be dictated by a handful of people who don\u2019t represent the larger populace.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that the powers that exist are not allowing things to work in a way they should. The law of the land must come into play forcefully if needed, before things spiral out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
