All I can compare it to is being like an author who is confronted with reviews of a book before it is published. The fundamentalists claim that Water attacks Hinduism and that you, as a filmmaker, make lots of money by exploiting the problems of India. This is the irony of it. They also say that Earth was an anti-Hindu film. This is ludicrous.
Earth deals with problems created by the British partition of India.
You've seen it, you know what it's about. And those that claim that I am making lots of money should take a look at my bank account to see that this is nonsense. The situation in India at the moment is that if you produce films with song and dance routines or unserious films, you are fine. It doesn't matter how violent and vulgar they are. Those that declare that the film I am going to make will tarnish the image of India should also explain what has happened to me.
