Chk out my technical blog :
MaxxRamblings: Salim Khan, father of the great "Sportman", Salman Khan (the overgrown teenager of Bollywood) has tweeted that the movie "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" has brought back Milkha Singh from the brink of oblivion.. I shudder at the recalcitrant and irreverent comment from a senior citizen who ought to be more aware of the feats of the bare footed Sikh than us...
Coming to the statement itself, personally I see it as an act of desperation, a senior person resorting to childish prattle to garner support for his much maligned son. And in his over zealousness forgets decency, decorum and logic. "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" was not documentary, Bollywood had benefited far more by portraying the Flying Sikh than the man himself. C'mon, the producers and the ilk are not crazy nationalistic guys to be investing in a plot which they feel will not be successful and then cast the best of the stars in it as well....
What would Milkha Singh gain from his popularity? Net sponsorship deals? Feature in ads? C'mon we all know that will not happen.. Hit or not he will not be showered with endorsement deals and expert commentator jobs (like the ex-cricketers get)... The film on the other hand will help many a actor to boost their fledgling careers.. To prop up a industry not known for anything much beyond romantic song and dance routines.. Films like Bhaag..., Gangs of W.., Challo Dilli etc are too few and far between.. And your son isn't associated with anything of that calibre..yet...
Going by the same logic, why dont you also state that folks like Mary Kom, Dhoni etc were also "benefited" by their biopics. 😆😆😆😆
