Deal it in civilized way, not by attacking Bhansali: Shyam Benegal
Mumbai
January 28, 2017
Veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal has condemned the violence that Sanjay Leela
Bhansali dealt with on the sets of 'Padmavati', saying taking law into hands
is never the right approach. Commenting on the incident, he told ANI, 'Violence
of any kind is terrible. You can have different views about incidents in history
and that's another matter that people can also feel aggrieved but to take law
into your hands and attack a person like this is simply not done. It is not
the right way to approach it.'
The 83-year-old said there is always a 'civilized' way of dealing
with a matter.
'If you have a dispute with Bhansali's facts and figures then
you should come up with your own facts. That is the civilized way of dealing
with it. These attacks are meaningless. The film industry will come together
and definitely take up this matter.'
Bhansali was roughed up by members of Rajput Karni Sena at
Jaipur's historic Jaigarh Fort on Friday alleging that Rajasthan's history was
distorted in Bhansali's magnum-opus.
