The responses to this post from some within the industry have been largely positive—but mostly in private. And the reason is obvious. The moment you speak publicly about investing in talent, the usual noise begins: people masquerading as the “audience,” peddling box-office

Another Long Post: Hindi Cinema Needs a Reset – Women Leading the Change When I wrote my previous post about emerging male actors, my intention was simple—to illustrate the need for bolder casting choices in Hindi cinema. But, as always, hyperactive voices found a different

What happened with Kamra is, sadly, not new to Maharashtra. I’ve lived through it myself. Twenty-five years ago, loyalists of the same (then undivided) political party stormed into my office. They vandalised it, physically assaulted me, blackened my face, and forced me to

And we MUST.

I miss this Modi.
