Rebirth of India: Superior

Regarding this issue, Shakru was a little embarrassed: "Well, this is indeed an oversight by the producer, but after all, they are British and not Indians, so they will definitely not do it on purpose. This can be modified by reporting it to them."

"There is also a social activist named Nicholas Almeida who believes that since this movie relies on the stories of slum residents to attract attention, it should assume social responsibility. Since this movie has made so much money, why not Use part of it to improve the living standards of the slums.” After the host finished speaking with a smile, she even shook her head and said, “Of course, this is a bit whimsical.”

Shakru nodded and said disdainfully: "Of course he is fanciful, because this idea is completely unreasonable. Dahawi is not an investment partner of this movie, so how much money people make from this movie has nothing to do with them. Relationship? Is this just because I am weak?"

"Some people also reported that the film crew underpaid the young actors in the slums. Is this true?"

Shakru shook his head and said: "This is completely taken out of context, because both the director Mr. Danny and the producer Mr. Colson have funded these children's schooling as promised and established a fund to pay for their other living expenses. "

Then Shakru paused and continued: "Actually, I think this movie has positive meanings. For example, it can allow more people in the world to truly understand India and its current situation, and then there is a chance that someone will Some charitable organizations come to Dawi and other slums to lend a helping hand to these people in need. Likewise, movies like this will encourage the government to pay more attention to this situation.”

Finally, Shakru broke another shocking news: "Next, I will consider personally producing a program or filming a series of documentaries to specifically uncover the existing social problems in India, put the dark side of society in the spotlight, and show In front of everyone."

Shakru did not say this out of breath or was forced by the incident in front of him. In fact, he had already had this idea and discussed it with Aamir Khan when filming "3 Idiots in Bollywood" Things are just being disclosed to the public in advance.

The host obviously did not expect Shakru to say such a thing, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Pandit, are you serious?"

Shakru nodded and said: "Of course I am serious, and I have even chosen the host, Mr. Aamir Khan." After saying this, he suddenly wanted to tease the host in front of him: "If you are interested , I don’t need Aamir Khan.”

The host thought to himself that I would not do such an offending job, so he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I'm not suitable for this type of program, so it's better not to argue with Amir."

After the live broadcast ended, the program producer hurried over to find Shakru: "Mr. Pandit, do you really plan to do this kind of series exposing social ills?"

"Yes, I have had this idea a long time ago, but I have been very busy, so I have not spared my time to do it. Recently, I have more time, and the host just happened to ask me this related question, so I announced it in advance. one time."

"Then which TV station do you plan to cooperate with?" the producer asked thoughtfully.

As soon as he heard what the producer said, Shakru knew that he was very interested in this program, so he smiled and said: "Because the production hasn't started yet, I haven't thought about this issue yet. In fact, I think I should cooperate with your station. It's relatively pleasant, but this program is really too sensitive, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble for your station, so..."

Before Shakru finished speaking, the producer hurriedly said: "Mr. Pandit, you don't have to worry about this. Our boss is also a very bold person. As long as the ratings and topicality can be guaranteed, I think The probability of passing by the boss should be very high.”

"That's great. Let's do this. You go and apply to the boss of your station. I'll go back and do an issue with Amir first, and then we'll review it together to confirm the matter, okay." Shakru said casually Said, the producer naturally agreed. After all, he is not the boss. Although he feels very confident, he cannot make any guarantees until the boss makes a decision.

After returning to his company, Shakru directly brought Aamir Khan and Rajkumar to his office and talked about it. Aamir Khan felt very excited when he heard it, because this was something he had been looking forward to. A program of "3 Idiots", I knew from Shakru that he had this idea as early as the filming of "3 Idiots", and he even agreed to participate in the film because of its certain social significance.

Rajkumar was a little worried: "Boss, what social problems are you planning to expose? Will they no longer arouse public outrage like the slums?"

Shakru pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about this, but I can show you the subject matter I determined first." After saying that, Shakru took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Rajkumar and Aamir Khan. In fact, he had already written this list, but he never started making it.

"Women are forced to have abortions, children, high-priced dowries, medical malpractice, free love and arranged marriages, people with disabilities, domestic violence, harmful pesticides, alcohol ruining lives, caste system, respect for elders, water resources, and the dream of India!" Rajkumar read in a low voice while reading. He breathed a sigh of relief at the end because the list was better than he thought. Although there were also controversial topics, it was still acceptable.

"Boss, which topic do you plan to produce in the first episode?" Rajkumar asked.

Shakru pointed to the first topic and said, "Then let's follow the order and do women's forced abortions first." The reason for choosing this topic is that, first, it was originally the topic of the first episode of "Truth Interview" in the previous life, and second, he was deeply impressed by this episode, and even remembered many classic quotes said by Aamir Khan in it, so he hoped to use this first episode to set a tone for the entire program. After all, he was very busy and it was impossible for him to produce every episode in person.

PS: Finally, it’s time for “The Truth Interview”. This is what I wanted to write when I started this book, so I plan to use more space. After finishing this program, and then writing about Nihadarvi and Banerjee, I will have no regrets about this book.
