Along with the poster, Abhay wrote, ““Shanghai”, released in
2012. A contemporary Indian take on the Greek novel “Z” by author
Vassilis Vassilikos. Directed by Dibakar Banerji this film puts systemic
corruption in politics front and center, with devastating impact.
Extremely relevant today. Looks like these days one could make a film
about the corrupt practices of Bollywood! By the way, not sure if the
current outrage will give rise to an independent Hindi film and music
industry, without the unoriginal tag of “Bollywood”, but it sure feels
good to hear loud voices from within the industry, risking their careers
for the bigger “picture” (pun intended 😊). (@priyasreedharan we gotta
make another movie! What’s Wasim Khan’s Instagram handle?).

The current scenario in
Bollywood has brought forth some of the ills of the movie-making
business. From nepotism to movie mafia to music mafia, everyone has been
exposed by someone or the other. Abhay Deol, too, has spoken up about
the same in his posts. We wish his posts get the right audience, and
cumulatively they are able to bring forth a positive change in the film
and television industry.
