Overwhelming
Response
In
a
recent
interview
to
Quint,
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Shoojit
Sircar
talked
about
the
overwhelming
response
they
received
from
the
public
for
their
movie
Pink.
Shoojit
Sircar
On
Pink
Shoojit
Sircar
said,
''We
were
confident
of
the
product,
confident
of
the
power
of
the
message,
but
did
we
expect
this
kind
of
universal
love
and
appreciation?''
Now
My
Favourite
Colour
Is
Pink:
Shoojit
Shoojit
Sircar
further
added,
''No,
not
to
this
extent.
Which
is
why
my
team
and
I
are
so
happy
that
we
cannot
stop
smiling.
Suddenly
my
favourite
colour
is
Pink
(laughs).''
Amitabh
On
Pink's
Response
Amitabh
answered
the
same
question
and
said,
''You
know
journalists
would
ask
us
during
the
course
of
the
interview
why
the
film
was
titled
Pink
and
there
was
no
way
to
explain
that
before
the
release.''
Amitabh
On
Pink
He
added,
''As
it
is
there
is
little
to
talk
about
when
the
film
is
a
thriller,
so
we
worked
on
a
different
strategy
for
promotion.
Pink
is
a
powerful
film
and
we
are
happy
that
everyone
is
appreciating
it.''
Introducing
Ladies
First
Talking
about
introducing
ladies
first
in
the
movie,
Amitabh
said,
''Because
the
subject
deals
with
women,
it
is
their
story
and
it
is
only
fair
that
they
are
introduced
first.''
Concept
Of
Ladies
First
''Besides
we
say
‘ladies
first',
so
why
not
put
that
into
practice?
I
discussed
this
with
my
producer
and
director
and
both
Aniruddh
and
Shoojit
understood
and
accepted,'' he
said.
Rise
Above
Old
Concepts
Amitabh
Bachchan
further
added,
''Time
has
come
when
we
need
to
rise
above
old
concepts.
Why
do
we
take
it
for
granted
that
blue
is
for
boys
and
pink
is
for
girls?''
Colours
Cannot
Have
Descriptions:
Big
B
''Who
decided
this
and
why
must
everyone
follow
it?
They
are
colours
and
colours
cannot
have
descriptions,''
Amitabh
Bachchan
said.
