MUMBAI:
The family of legendry singer Mohammad Rafi is angry over an ‘insulting
dialogue’ in Karan Johar’s latest film ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and hinted at
approaching Indian censor board.
The dialogue has Anushka Sharma telling Ranbir
Kapoor, “Mohd. Rafi gaate nahi rote the.” This has incensed the legendary
singer’s family a great deal.
Speaking to Indian newspaper, Rafi’s son, Shahid
said, “This dialogue doesn’t take the movie forward or backwards and if that is
the case, what was the need to include this dialogue? This dialogue is an
insult. It is stupid. The man who wrote this dialogue is stupid. My father sang
for Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Joy Mukherjee, Biswajeet Singh. From love
songs to qawwali, he has sung it all. It is ridiculous to say whatever has been
said in the film.”
Shahid also doubted filmmaker’s ability to judge the
sensibility of dialogues.
“After watching this, I doubt if he (Karan) has got
any sense about what he is doing. It’s an insult to my father. I am ashamed and
didn’t expect this from Karan Johar.”
“I have received so many messages from fans asking me
to take action. I will talk to CBFC chief Pankaj Nihalani. I know him very
well. I will see what he suggests and accordingly take an action. This line
could have been censored,” averred Shahid.
