We do believe that the Bollywood Film Fraternity are our brothers and sisters. We loved it when 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' enchanted us along with other films like 'Baazigar, 'Deewar', 'Taare Zameen Par', 'Jodhaa Akbar' and so on. However, the Tamil Film Industry's or the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce's asking of the Bollywood to express solidarity with the Tamil Film Industry's decision of boycotting the FICCI's IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) Film Festival was to show a unified strength to the world.
But Bollywood seems to have other ideas. The Tamil Film Fraternity has not forced Bollywood to boycott the event. It was about a feeling of oneness when it came to the country we live in. But Bollywood believes Bollywood is Bollywood and Kollywood is Kollywood. The regional powers weren't sufficient enough to make Bollywood boycott the IIFA.
The Bollywood, undeterred, has taken the IIFA's Colombo 'Red' Carpet. Salman Khan who was among the first to take the 'Red' Carpet' told reporters that Amitabh Bachchan and his family should have come to Colombo as the Brand Ambassador of the IIFA or the FICCI. Rational Films condemns Salman Khan and the entire Tamil Film Industry should reach a consensus on Salman Khan and his films in the South. We hope that an explanation would at least be sought.
Some did pretend that there was no issue and some did not understand what the issue was all about. Some seemed to have no concerns and yes, of course, nobody can stop them as participating in Colombo 'Red' Carpet IIFA Film Festival is their democratic right!
