His
latest
film
Jail
has
seen
critical
acclaim
coming
its
way
and
is
now
entering
its
second
week
today.
However,
madhur
bhandarkar
is
far
from
resting.
In
the
ongoing
33rd
Cairo
International
Film
Festival
in
Egypt,
his
films
have
been
invited
under
the
section
'Tribute
to
Indian
Cinema'.
This
event
would
showcase
retrospective
of
5
films
from
the
National
Award
winner
filmmaker.
The
films
are
Chandni
Bar,
Page3,
Corporate,
Traffic
Signal
and
Fashion.
"Yes,
it's
a
big
honour
as
very
recently
I
had
also
travelled
to
Moscow
International
Film
Festival
for
a
similar
retrospective.
I
would
be
leaving
Mumbai
on
16th
November
for
Cairo",
confirmed
Bhandarkar.
Some
of
the
other
prominent
actors
who
are
already
attending
the
event
are
Salma
Hayek,
Lucy
Liu,
Samuel
L.
Jackson
and
Tom
Berenger.
Meanwhile,
all
is
not
well
on
the
personal
front
of
madhur
bhandarkar.
Ghosts
of
the
past
are
back
to
haunt
him
again
as
the
years
old
case
where
an
aspiring
starlet
had
accused
madhur
bhandarkar
of
rape
is
back
in
limelight.
"I
really
don't
wish
to
comment
on
it
since
the
matter
is
subjudice",
says
madhur
bhandarkar.
On
being
prodded
further,
all
he
was
willing
to
say
was,
"It
is
a
sensitive
issue
and
let
the
law
take
its
own
course.
People
should
just
realise
though
that
I
have
a
mother,
wife
and
a
daughter
at
home,
hence
this
case
shouldn't
take
the
shape
of
trial
by
media.
That's
my
humble
request
to
entire
print
and
electronic
media."
