Ab to nai ban rahi headline. Ab to sab uske hi aansoo poch rahe hai instead of those victims
Why Bollywood cannot be neutral about Salman
Three or four stars are disproportionately powerful in the industry. All the others in Bollywood, no matter how talented, must be aligned to one of these stars or be reconciled to doing small movies with the others, says Aakar Patel.
It has been clear for many years that Salman Khan was troubled and needed to be counselled. In fact he has been encouraged and supported by people inside Bollywood. After his conviction, insiders like the singer Abhijeet, blamed the victims for sleeping "on the roads" (which they were not) and thus inviting death upon themselves.
They are doing this, and will continue to support Salman no matter what happens, for a reason. Bollywood is one of three successful film industries around the world, the other two being Hong Kong and Hollywood. All three have a star system, but Bollywood's is very small. Only four and perhaps five men can guarantee an 'opening' which means the money taken in on the first few days of the release, which is the period that can make or break a movie.
These men are disproportionately powerful in the industry......
But this power also has an internal dimension. All the others inside Bollywood, whether directors, singers, make-up professionals, body doubles and so on, no matter how talented, must be aligned to one of these stars or be reconciled to doing small (cheap) movies with the others.
There are exceptions, for instance people like Gulzar and the director Anurag Kashyap, but they are not many. For most people in the star's orbit, the relationship is parasitic and exists as long as the patronage is extended, just as some Mughal emperor's grant. Of course, absolute and unconditional loyalty is expected.
The star decides who he works with, and unlike Hollywood, this extends to many more things. Salman's family, for instance, inserts itself into his projects regularly because the star is not just important to the movie, he is the movie.
Preity Zinta skipped a match her team was playing in Bangalore to be with Salman and show her support for him. I did not find this astonishing. Our newspaper reproduced the chat in which Salman said abusive things about Preity Zinta. She was incensed enough to sue the newspaper which published the transcript for libel, but not Salman the man who made the remarks.
We must not expect Bollywood to be neutral or balanced about Salman, nor take what they say about stars like him and Sanjay Dutt seriously.
