Was just watching the music release of Guru. Mani Ratnam’s next movie with Abhishek Bachchan and Ashwariya Rai. And rumors say it is based on the life of the legendry Indian businessman – Shri Dhirubhai Ambani.
The punchline of the movie is - “the most controversial man of the year”. Well, if its really based on his life than the punchline should be “the most controversial man of India”.
I saw the poster of the movie it reads – “Villager, Visionary, Winner”. Well these words can be used to describe Dhirubhai but these three words together not exactly describe him right. The word Visionary fits him best but the other two words just take away the impact (may be its there for commercial reasons). And where did the word ‘Guru’ came from? Well he has been inspiration for a whole generation of entrepreneurs but then word Guru is also not very apt. I describe him as just ‘God’. If my choice of word offends people they can call him ‘God of big things’.
Maniji I am a big fan of yours and I believe Abhishek is the best choice for the role. You managed to bring out the best in Jr. B in your movie Yuva much before anybody else did. It was the defining moment in the career of Jr. B and your next movie might be ‘the’ moment he was born for. I hope you & Abhishek do justice to the life of the great man. Please don’t waste too must screen time on Ashwariya & other commercial aspects and make it like a real biography as done in Hollywood (Use ‘A beautiful mind’ or ‘Walk the line’ as benchmark). I envy you because I wanted to be the one to make movie on his life. I will still make movie on his life one day. I hope you set a high benchmark for me. Waiting eagerly for your movie.

Hi,
It would be interesting to discuss with you about your very strong liking for Shri Dhirubhai Ambani. you have set a benchmark at being a fan of Shri. Dhirubhai Ambani.
Hi Raj,
I would love to discuss the same with you. Let me know more about yourself.
Regards,
Neeraj
Hi Neeraj,
I am just another "bhakta" among the zillions of the "God".... Well the post has nothing to do with tyhe movie, although I am waiting to watch it too, just wanted to know if you ve read "The Polyster Prince". Though it will be difficult to lay hands on it, as it is no more in circulation. Try your luck.
