After Sex, It’s Babri Masjid Politics For Pahlaj Nihalani

Freedom from his sanskaari censorial duties seems to have set off a new wave of creative  freedom  for Pahlaj Nihalani.

After playing presenter to the erotic Julie 2, Pahlaj Nihalani will now produce a film on the demolition  of  theBabri Masjid , a political crisis that  hit India in 1992 and resulted in widespread  riots all across the  country.

The  film entitled Kabir Ka Ayodhya will feature newcomers .

Explaining his decision to go fiercely political with his cinema Nihalani says, “I am being told that there is  a fear that my  film would not be in keeping with the Bharatiya Janta Party’s ideology. But I want people to stop worrying. Please wait to see what line of politics Kabir Ka Ayodhya will adopt. I can assure you it would be hardhitting . I am not afraid   of the truth, no matter how  bitter.”

Nihalani says he will deliberately  cast newcomers in his film. “If I want I can ask Sunny Deol Akshay  Kumarand Govinda to star in Kabir Ka Ayodhya. They will never say no to me. But I  don’t want established stars. Our industry desperately needs new talent. A handful of stars are controlling the budgets of  films. We need  to break that stronghold before it’s too late.”

The producer says he has always believed in new talent. “I’ve introduced Govinda, Chunky Pandey, Neelam and so many others, Divya Bharati  was a newcomer when I signed her for Shola Aur Shabnam And Kangana Ranautwas first signed by me although that film never got made.I believe in fresh talent . It’s the future of  the entertainment business.”

Isn’t he afraid of censor trouble over a  film that recreates the Babri Masjid crisis?

“Not at all. I know  the  guidelines and I won’t make any  film that disregards those guidelines. The facts about the Babri demolition are in the public domain.No point in ignoring the obvious.”
