Mani Ratnam unable to make Dil Se or Bombay’ amid climate: ‘Politics easiest topic to dispute’
Says Suhasini Mani Ratnam
Suhasini emphasis that amid the existing era, it is impossible to make a political film in India. Suhasini Maniratnam recalled Shabana Azmi’s comments, highlighting that even a movie like Sholay can’t be made in the current scenario.
Suhasini wife of Tamil ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam, also asserted that exploiting politics in movies for financial gain is not commendable.
“Should cinema, or art in general, be political?” is a question that has been extensively debated, yet a common ground has still not been reached.
In the midst of her media interaction Suhasini asserted that as of today, there is no Indian film without politics because, in most of the films, the villain is a politician.
The local MLA is often portrayed as the first villain. However, that is not the portrayal of politics that she wishes to see in films. Films like A Wednesday, Bombay Roja and Iruvar is the kind of politics that she wants to watch..Not really films that milk out of politics and make headlines
