Mumbai: While speaking at NFDC Film Bazaar, Anurag Basu commented against Rohit Shetty. He said, Rohit Shetty can never make a movie like Queen.

Anurag Basu is an Indian movie, Television-advertisement and television director, actor, screenwriter and producer. He was known for movies like Life in a… Metro, Kites, Gangster and Murder.

Anurag Basu while speaking at the ongoing NFDC Film Bazaar spoke on title, “a Female protagonist in Bollywood Today – How Real is the Discourse”. During his speech he said a director of Rohit Shetty’s stature can never make a female centric movie like ‘Queen’.

He said, “Personalities of actors and directors reflect the kind of work they do. Just see movies like ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and ‘Queen’. Anand L Rai and Vikas Bahl can do it. But Rohit Shetty can never make such movies. It depends on the kind of person and how you see women. Some dialogues which are said by Salman will never be said by Shah Rukh Khan.

You should not judge the change in scenario by just two or three movies. You need to see it in the coming years where we’re heading and how people are taking it and how many films are being crafted. Female centric movies are always made. If you look keenly, the climax of Queen and ending of Earth were same.”
