Abhishek
Kapoor
On
Kedarnath
Row
Kapoor
says
the
team
recognises
the
issues
they
are
talking
about
in
the
film
are
delicate
and
they
tried
to
handled
them
with
a
lot
of
sensitivity.
"If
you
just
look
at
the
current
state
we
are
in,
this
entire
election
has
been
fought
on
Hindu-Muslim
politics,
after
that
you
got
the
entire
Sabrimala
issue
going
on.
If
you
look
at
this
movie,
it
is
touching
upon
all
these
issues.
It's
a
very
delicate
subject
to
touch
upon," Kapoor
told
PTI.
Kedarnath
Is
For
'Healing'
He
further
added,
"That's
where
the
challenge
is.
Without
hurting
people,
pushing
any
wrong
buttons,
you
still
say
what
you
have
to
say.
That
requires
very
in-depth
understanding
of
people.
You
can
take
the
story,
flip
it
and
make
it
blasphemous
and
controversial.
But
that
wasn't
our
intention.
It
is
to
bring
healing,
understanding,"
he
adds.
'We
Are
Just
Trying
To
Show
A
Mirror
To
The
Society'
The
politics
of
religion
is
a
recurring
theme
for
Kapoor,
who
previously
touched
upon
the
same
in
his
Kai
Po
Che!,
which
chronicled
the
story
of
three
youngsters
whose
friendship
is
put
to
test
during
the
Godhra
train
massacre
and
the
communal
riots
which
followed.
"I
try
to
make
very
Indian
films.
We
are
just
trying
to
show
a
mirror
to
the
society.
I
am
not
someone
who
is
very
articulate
and
keeps
talking.
So
whatever
I've
to
say
and
I
feel
about
my
country,
I
show
through
my
films.
"This
is
who
we
are.
If
that's
a
repeating
thread
in
a
couple
of
my
films,
it's
just
because
it's
out
there.
It's
so
clear,
present,
in
your
face
divisive
instrument
-
religion."
Abhishek
Kapoor
On
Comparisions
Made
Between
Kedarnath
&
Titanic
Featuring
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
and
Sara
Ali
Khan,
Kedarnath
released
last
Friday
and
has
been
warmly
received
by
the
audience.
Critics,
however,
have
pointed
out
similarities
between
Kedarnatn
and
the
epic
romantic-disaster-drama
Titanic,
saying
Kapoor's
film
follows
a
template
of
the
James
Cameron
classic.
Kapoor
says
there's
nothing
similar
between
the
two
films.
"If
you
ask
me,
'Titanic' is
a
lot
like
a
Bollywood
film
to
some
level.
Other
than
the
fact
that
there
is
a
background
and
a
love
story
upfront,
there
is
nothing
similar.
'Titanic'
offers
you
so
much
more
in
terms
of
VFX
and
special
effects.
"But
'Kedarnath'
is
not
about
VFX.
VFX
is
there
for
you
to
just
understand
certain
things,
not
marvel
at.
This
is
not
that
film.
It
is
about
you
me,
our
country,
our
issues,
our
Hindu-Muslim
divide,
Shiva,"
he
says.
Kapoor
Says
When
Critics
Watched
The
Film,
They
Brought
With
Them
Certain
Expectations
"They
probably
have
seen
my
earlier
films
and
are
looking
for
that director who
made
those
films.
My
attempt
has
just
been
the
contrary.
I
prefer
to
disappear
and
re-invent
myself.
I
want
to
be
new
a director every
time.
"To
have
a
signature
that
'this
is
my
film'
is
too
egotistical
for
me...
I
think
people
haven't
seen
seen
for
what
it
is
but
seen
it
for
what
they
think
it
should've
been.
Which
I
don't
think
is
fair," he
says.
