Exclusive: Rajkumar Hirani On PK Controversy | Anti-Fakeness In All Religions | Aamir Khan

In this Bollywood Hungama exclusive with Content Head Broadband Faridoon Shahryar, Rajkumar breaks his silence on the controversies surrounding his recently released film 'PK', ranging from being critical of just Hinduism and going soft on religions to showing 'disrespect' to Lord Shiva to encouraging the idea of 'Love Jihad' and a lot more. Mr Hirani speaks about the film crossing Rs 300 Crores barrier but why it is the appreciation for the film which is far more important for him more than anything else. He reasons why the film is Anti-fakeness in all religions and not one religion in particular. He clarifies on rumours that he along with the team of 'PK' donated money at certain religious sites. He also made it clear that Aamir Khan was an actor in the film and his religious identity should not be considered while judging the film, his performance and the message in the film. He then explains in detail that the first draft of 'PK' was dropped after he and co-writer Abhijat Joshi saw Hollywood film 'Inception' and realized that they have also written a similar idea. He then reveals that they changed the draft again after they wrote stuff that bore similarities with the play 'Kanji Viruddh Kanji', that was ultimately adapted in the film 'OMG Oh My God'. Lastly, He reveals that the final scene, featuring Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, was shot just a month before the film's release in order to give the film a positive touch in the end. Don't miss!

Wow man.. This man is A genius.. I heave been listening to all of his interviews... And i came to know... That he actually is A genius.. The statement he says at 17.00 min.. I mean wow man.. We as a human species are living by accepting borrowed knowledge... How can Someone think like that.. Man hats off to u.. That really stuck my mind.. We are as a species have failed our own creation. That's so true.. Raju sir massive respect to u.. I know u dont waste time reading these comment and all.. Still M writing it... Coz I can't hold back... I definitely wanna meet u in person someday.. 😊

[@skghori001]

All these major organised religions are only about 5 to ten thousand years old, we as human have lived with out relgious division for millions of years. Rajkumar Hirani is a smart man, who is trying to point out that we are human first and Hindu,Muslim, Christian jewss, Bhudist later. Of course the people sho are in the business of religion do not like it as they have vested interest in keeping the people fight over religious differences .

[@amolsw]

Millions of years??? Have you gone to school ever?

[@DharmProtectionGroup]

+skghori no we haven't since we have been humans there has been religion and being human is part of who all are but views are different and there are differences

[@farrukhj]

Although I feel PK didn't moved me the way Munna Bhai and 3 Idiots did but still a noble effort. Raju Hirani is definitely one of the most enlightened people around. Thanks Faridoon for the entire interview. Really enjoyed the entire interview.

Great interview Mr Hirani. Super questions Faridoon. You are the best.

[@yogesh.pandit]

You Muslims do not have any right to preach us, if you were so unsentimental, then why did you killed famous cartoonist Charlie Hebdo, for just making a cartoon. Moreover, If you were so secular and generous, then why did you protest against the movie "Innocence of Muslims". You should have courage to absorb that movie also, but no, when it comes to you, then you do show even certain level of generosity.

[@vinnu2337]

Would they comment in the same way if he made similar skit of Lord Shiva on prophet Mohammed?

Lol, Rajkumar Hirani is a Hindu

Now in covid corona times Rajkumar Hirani is also following the old beliefs like washing hands , keeping distance blindly

[@iamniteshnaik]

It is not about showing more of Hinduism or any other religion. The depiction of Lord Shiva has hurt the sentiments. And when I say hurt the sentiments it doesn't mean I will terrorise you but the truth is it has hurt me deeply and how can a good filmmaker like Raju Hirani do it.

[@rajenkundu193]

In the movie PK, there was no real God was shown. It only featured a stage artist essaying the role of Lord Shiva for a play. I don't think that it hurt any sentiment.

[@vinnu2337]

Will amir khan accept similar Lord siva skit in movie with prophet mohammed

[@RandomlyWisdom]

Imagine releasing PK today. I guarantee it would not performed that well. Because India has changed.

[@norbutsering3610]

Wow!Such a creative genius

[@jignyapatel5041]

It’s a great movie… it’s not anti-any-religion. It tries to encourage us to think bit broadly about our religions/rituals and God! ---we can’t let fear of religious extremists and God (unproven, unknown entity) prevent us from thinking/questioning/learning something new…ppl in INDIA need to advance, be more objective, and broaden their minds rather then start riots and try to “PROTECT THEIR GOD”...Like the movie says, GOD DOESN’T NEED YOU TO PROTECT HIM/HER!!! ..If god created you, god can defend himself!. ….this movie shows a huge stereotype that is associated with the Muslim community (i.e. bombing a train/terrorism) thus it could be considered anti-Muslim - my opinion, it doesn't disrespect any religion! so relax!!! :P

[@amolsw]

Tell this to muslims too.

[@jignyapatel5041]

WTF...Do you know how many muslims are in this world u jerk?? Why are you acting as if all muslims share one vision!?---(it is clear that not all hindus share same views on this film, so stop acting like all muslims are the SAME)....FYI: I do have Muslim friends, and they don't find this film offensive. so yeah fix ur head, don't worry about others.

[@amolsw]

LOL....ur soooooo stupid!!!.....i don't know what world u live in, but where I live multicultural society/views is a good thing...Go educate yourself! Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world...we don't choose friends based on religion hear you recist moron! and who the fuck ARE YOU TO TELL ME TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT...this world would be a better place if you kept your mouth shut for the rest OF UR LIFE. thank you very much dumbass!

without a doubt one of the finest interviews conducted by Faridoon ever. The best part is that he asked all the relevant questions and that too in a critical manner.

no one is protecting god we are protecting the religion against those who lie about the religions even if they are against other religions and we didn't create religion the prophets like Muhammad or Jesus created Islam or Christianity if you say the religion is man made they are insulting the prophets and these differences are being created because some religions like Islam think their religion is only true religion and everyone should convert we Hindus respect all religions only truth about this film is that some people use religion has a business

I agree we're all humans!!!....using man made thing (I.e. religion) to divide us and create differences/hate between us is illogical!!!!!---we need to be brave enough to critically look at religion and God and see how it plays a role in our life. Why so much fear at being objective and questioning religion and God??????? it's pathetic.

Stupid excuses... The hindu books,religious texts and powerful mantras are more than ten thousand years old.. And he is comparing them with other religions which were not even in the frame even it the initial BCs. If there was no religion back then ... Then what was satyug and the epic sagas related to parbrahma.. Also, love jihad and many such problems have been of a huge serious concern & he is completely unaware of this and making lame answers and blaming everyone for the same. And also hinting on the correlational example of sachin tendulkar as lord shiva is utterly foolish where he himself said that nothing could be compared to god and god is the entirety, the universe. And also, most importantly throw away your stupid ideology of intolerance... India and Sanatan Dharma were the greatest indeed and over the last 800-1000 years the outsiders destroyed our culture, our tradition, our science , our language, our heritage , our customs , our faith and what not.. There is always a limit .. a limit to intolerance. There is science and moral behind and beyond everything in hindutva and hinduism which you never show in your movies and make fun of the same just to make the movie a money-spinner at the box office... Try the same movie with other religions, either there would be threats of getting beheaded or conversion(then you could get the clear definition of hindu tolerance) And , never group this dharma with other religions...it is illogical to do so.
