Abhishek Also Rejects Having Any Link between Guru and Ambani

Famous South Indian director Mani Ratnam’s most awaited movie Guru will be released on 11 January. The title role of the movie Guru will be played by star actor Abhishek Bachchan. The rumor regarding the movie is that the movie is based on the real life of industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani. However, Mani has been rejecting this rumor and saying that it is a fictional movie and based on some fictional characters. Recently, the hero of this movie Abhishek Bachchan, also rejected this rumor. I am quoting him from an ndtvmovies report:

I like to believe that Mani had well researched Guru Kant Desai on whom it is based. But he is a fictional character. He could have been inspired by his doodhwala of all people

Mani says:

As far as I am concerned, the film's success is on Abhishek's shoulders.They have been seeing my films and it would be unfair not to dub it in the south Indian languages.

It is true that a movie is a combination of some reality and imagination. However, it is not easy to identify whether it is based on an individual or imagination.

This movie is about the thug who almost received the Bharat Ratna, thanks to the BJP government, few years back. Mani Ratnam’s movies wonderfully plays with the patriotic chord: why get perturbed by Gurubhai forgetting to pay some taxes (he is a villager who didn’t understand what taxes mean, though he knows the value of money) when people who buy his company’s shares can get their three daughters married inspite of driving taxi (must be the greatest achievement in human history), when even in his absence our country would go and beg to World Bank.

RELIANCE INFOCOMM, the telecom venture of the Reliance Group, the biggest private Indian conglomerate, was caught in a fierce controversy in 2004 for operating in the grey area that lies between what technology enables it to do and what the law permits. Barely a year after it paid a penalty for abuse of its licence to provide limited mobility service, the company had been accused of routing its international calls to India illegally and passing them off as national long distance (NLD) or local calls. The publicly owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), which made these accusations, claimed dues of Rs.600 crores for such calls made through India’s biggest private integrated telecom operator. A top-level source in BSNL told the Frontline magazine that Reliance’s dues to the two publicly owned companies could mount to “at least Rs.1,000 crores” because BSNL’s field units are still gathering details from across the country. No doubt the words of Gurubhai alias Dhirubhai regarding World Bank debts are very apt. One can think for her/himself why our country is in debt.

Aishwariya plays the role of Kokilaben perfectly. Though in the film there are twin daughters, in reality the conflict between the Ambani brothers was a media camouflage to shield the telecom scam of atleast 1000 crores of rupees. The publicly owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), which made these accusations, claimed dues of Rs.600 crores for such calls made through India’s biggest private integrated telecom operator.

The Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal held Reliance Infocomm guilty of routing international calls landing in India as locally originating ones and dismisses its petition challenging the penalty imposed by the Department of Telecommunications.

The newspapers reported in March 2005 that Reliance suffered a major setback on March 5 when the Telecom Dispute Settlement Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) dismissed its petition challenging the Rs.150-crore penalty that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) imposed on the company.

But was it a setback?? They stole 1000 crore ruppees or more and were asked to pay a penalty of Rs 150 crores only.

Isn’t that ridiculous? They can do it because they can buy everybody. And finally make a movie to make you believe that they are going to make the world’s largest company. Maybe they will. On a pack of lies taller than the tower of Babel. They will break all the rules, since rules are made to be broken. Rama had broken the rules of warfare when he killed Bali from the backside. Today we see the Zionists making walls and killing innocents for ages in Palestine, Lebanon, the Americans bombing the Iraqis to pave the path for democracy.

No doubt they are the Guru of the world.

That way, Mani Ratnam made a very honest movie.
