After Heroine, his ‘most ambitious project’, was put on the backburner
indefinitely following the news of his lead actress Aishwarya Rai’s
pregnancy, acclaimed film-maker Madhur Bhandarkar says he went
into depression and that he’s upset that the “truth was hidden” from him.
“This decision of pulling the plug had a devastating effect on me ... It
was like an avalanche collapsing on me... I was in a state of total shock
and depression,” Bhandarkar posted on his blog on July 5.
The film-maker, who has given hits like Page 3, Chandni Bar and Fashion,
remained silent so far, ever since producers UTV took the decision to
stall the movie for the sake of Rai’s health.
“It was a collective decision of the producers of the film to pull off the
plug on the current assembled project...I am still reeling in a state of
shock.... But still chose to remain silent
all these days; but was coerced into breaking my silence... as I realized
that the truth deserved to be told,” he added
