A new controversy erupted around Kamal Hassan’s Vishwaroopam in the Malayalam film industry on Wednesday.
After watching the film, Mollywood director Aashiq Abu posted on Facebook: “Watched Vishwaroopam, he would have lost more money had this movie not been banned. For real terrorists this movie is a laughing stock. Please watch it, Vinayan had directed a Malayalam version of this before”.
The post trended on Facebook and Twitter with more than 4000 people commenting on the post, most of them criticised him for insulting artistes like Kamal Hassan and ace filmmaker Vinayan. Young actor Namitha Pramod’s official Facebook page also shared a page criticising Aashiq Abu.
Director B. Unnikrishnan, a former president of the Film Employees’ Federation of Kerala was prompt in pointing out Aashiq’s mistake.
“Criticism is a great art. The golden rule is: never, ever be personal. Criticism should never be downright scornful or ridiculing. The highest form of criticism is self-criticism. Before you denigrate someone, just ask this question: how qualified am I to do this?” Unnikrishnan posted.
Under pressure, Aashiq deleted his earlier comment and came up with a polished one.
“My comment was that of a movie lover. I had no intention to insult a great personality like Kamal. There is no scope for any comparison between us. With all due respect, I could not find his movie a great work of art.”
