Naseeruddin Shah speaks of the film and his experiences as an actor in it.<\/strong><\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Q1. You are playing the role <\/strong><\/font>of a religious guru in the film<\/strong><\/font> \u2018<\/strong><\/em><\/font>Dharam Sankat Mein\u2019. Do you think the film hurts the religious sentiments of people?<\/strong><\/font>
<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have taken care of sentiments of all the religions and groups. We are not mocking religion in the film but the people who have made religion a source of their business. No religion or group will be able to accuse us or this film as whatever is shown in the film is correct and factual.
<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"\/Q2. Your<\/strong><\/font>\u00a0<\/strong>Godman look was finalised after experimenting with 60 other looks. What\u2019s special about it?<\/strong>
<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What I am playing is a character called Neelanand Baba. I had great fun playing it and knocking people like that. In fact, I took personal interest in accessorizing this look, from choosing the right shade of blue for the Neel glares to riding the 1760cc blue sports bike; I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also wanted a good length of the \u2018choti\u2019 that you will find me sporting in the movie because I wanted to play with it.
<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Q3. What do you feel on the subject of the film?<\/strong>
<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Making a film like this shows a great deal of courage. And I am all for what the film is saying. The film is taking a stand against all kinds of blind faith.<\/font><\/p>\n
