What's with these Yash Raj Films directors? Why don't they show their faces? Why don't they talk to the press? I mean, what is your problem? First the big daddy himself — Aditya Chopra — who went missing after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge's Filmfare triumph night. And now most of his directors are following suit.
I had a lovely chat with Shaad Ali after Saathiya and he spoke really well, talking about little nuances of moviemaking and how he had imbibed them from Mani Sir. That film wasn't with Yash Raj. Then Shaad moved to Yash Raj and when I called him before the release of Bunty Aur Babli, he flatly refused to talk about the film. He was like "it was a great experience making the film... yes, Abhishek and Rani are great... yes Abhik-da is great". Even your Mani Sir talks a lot more! By the time Jhoom Barabar Jhoom came, he was in complete hiding.
Now we have Anurag Singh, the debutant director of Dil Bole Hadippa, who has refused to show up. And who's defending him? Rani Mukerji! "Oh, he is too shy to talk about the film!" God, if the director is too shy to talk about the film, baat kaun karega? Spotboy?! I simply don't under this. It cannot be a clause for all YRF directors because Kabir Khan and Kunal Kohli do talk and maybe because the two KKs talk so much, the other directors have to stay mum! What say? Or are you too shy to say?
