Firstly, Shivinder Singh Dungarpur has done great work not only for Titan, but for Pepsodent, Havell, SBI Life, HSBC, Vim, Rin etc.

Secondly, why should Guru Dutt be left alone. Those of us who are old enough to have seen his work, or know about his life, are privileged enough, and have experienced his passion and creativity. Why not let it be experienced by today’s youth.

Thirdly, I have great respect for Amir as an actor. I think if he accepts the role, he could do justice to it. It all depends on the script.

Other actors- Sharukh – too monotonous and predictible
Abhishek – too tall
Saif – a possibility
Irfan Khan, K K Menon, other non big commercial heroes?

There are too many ifs as of now, will Amir accept the film, will Shivinder make a good film, how good is the script……

Give them a chance. It needs courage to take up such a character and to make a movie on him in today’s Multiplex culture.

I for one would love to see a movie on Guru Dutt – with Amir or whoever.

I wish them all the best.
