Bollywood
filmmakers
are
known
for
turning
real
life
incidents
into
films
but
no
one
has
dared
to
make
a
film
on
the
26/11
terror
attack,
which
brought
Bollywood
hub
Mumbai
(in
fact
the
whole
country)
into
a
standstill
a
year
ago.
Filmmakers
are
divided
on
whether
it
is
time
to
bring
it
to
the
big
screens.
Around
10
film
titles
related
to
the
tragedy
have
been
registered
yet
no
one
has
taken
the
plunge.
Maybe
the
flak
that
controversy-prone
director
Ram
Gopal
Varma
received,
following
his
tour
to
the
terror-stricken
vicinities
soon
after
they
were
cleared,
has
made
the
filmmakers
skeptic.
Rensil
D'Silva,
the
director
of
the
recently
released
Kurbaan,
feels
that
it
is
too
early
to
explore
the
subject
as
the
audience
is
not
ready
for
it.
He
said
that
we
should
wait
for
at
least
three
to
four
years
before
embarking
on
it,
as
the
wounds
are
yet
to
heel.
He
added
that
we
have
just
40
per
cent
of
the
facts
of
the
attack,
which
is
not
enough
to
portray
a
tragedy
of
such
magnitude.
However,
actor
Gulshan
Grover
feels
that
there
is
nothing
like
a
proper
time
to
tell
a
story.
He
said
that
one
can
make
a
film
on
the
incident
as
long
as
the
story
is
authentic
and
sincere.
On
the
other
hand,
actor
cum
filmmaker
Anant
Mahadevan
has
a
quite
different
view.
He
feels
that
no
one
is
willing
to
take
up
the
risk
of
making
a
film
on
the
tragedy
due
to
lack
of
enough
means
to
deal
with
the
subject.
He
said
that
inadequacy
of
research
and
lack
of
budget
are
the
reasons
for
stopping
the
filmmakers
from
making
a
film
on
the
subject.
He
however
feels
that
one
could
make
a
film
out
of
a
particular
human
angle.
Filmmakers
must
be
keeping
away
from
the
subject,
as
they
are
well
aware
that
India
being
a
sensitive
country,
a
minor
disappointment
could
hamper
the
prospect
of
their
film.
But
it
would
be
worth
taking
the
risk
of
making
a
film
on
the
tragedy
and
bring
out
the
dark
side
of
terrorism.
It
would
not
only
bring
about
awareness
amongst
the
people
but
also
bind
the
country
together
in
fighting
terrorism.
