has
unveiled
the
teaser
of
Chup:
Revenge
Of
The
Artist
on
legendary
filmmaker
Guru
Dutt's
birth
anniversary
today
(June
9).
Paying
an
ode
to
him,
the
teaser
directly
refers
to
the
criticism
that
Guru
Dutt
received
for
his
masterpiece
Kaagaz
Ke
Phool
at
the
time
of
its
release.
Speaking
about
the
teaser,
R
Balki
said,
"Guru
Dutt's
Kaagaz
Ke
Phool
is
one
of
the
many
films
that
is
seen
as
iconic
today
but
was
strongly
criticized
when
it
was
released.
Should
we
be
more
sensitive
to
an
artist's
work
or
should
the
artists
be
less
sensitive
about
what
is
being
written
about
their
work."

teaser.
