It is definitely not a case where Muslims are protesting against a Hindu movie. The educated and tolerant Muslims, the ones i refer to as the REAL MUSLIMS would not object to it. The ones we see on TV are just the political ones, the MEDIA MUSLIMS who gather and blow their trumpet in front of the cameras. I wonder why the REAL ones are not given a chance to speak. Our news watching, and our relations would be much more peaceful.Period.
Either Kamal Hassan has been insulted, or we have been taken on a ride for one of the biggest media gimmicks ever pulled off. Yup, he is a great star. He is also an arrogant one, for whom self-praise is essential. He is one of the greatest artistes of our times and also one of the proudest and smartest. 'There is no such thing as negative publicity' and this should definitely set the cash registers ringing across the Vishva (world) for the movie. FYI, I've already bought my ticket.
That leaves us with Sharukh. The Khan in his sunset. While he's dating the VH1 baptized Piggy Chops (Priyanka Chopra), his be`te noire and my favorite, Salman Khan is Da-bbanging Bolloywood. SRK's desi superhero Ra-One, wasn't the one. Jab Tak Hai Jaan, is already being watched by the Pakistani Army as part of their training. Place bombs inside Border, don't wear protection of any kind, run to your wife, pretend you don't remember her and drool over female TV presenters of India (do you get me Steve?). His cricket team was about to be branded as Maoists by Didi, if not for black instead of red.
Aahhh! the good old times when stars were truly unreachable, Raman ate Hussein's biryani and news was just that, news.........
