Producer Mukesh Bhatt, who is here to shoot his upcoming movie on the issue of racism against Indians in Australia, has dubbed Amitabh Bachchan's decision to refuse doctorate degree offered by Queensland University as "childish".
He said he had been "overwhelmed" by the response. "I mean no disrespect to the Institution that honours me, but under the present circumstances, where citizens of my own country are subjected to such acts of inhuman horror, my conscience does not permit me to accept this decoration from a country that perpetrates such indignity to my fellow countrymen," Bachchan had written.
'Crook' has been conceptualised following series of racial attacks against Indian students in Australia that received blanket media coverage.
Commenting on his new production that is being directed by Mohit Suri, Bhatt said the film will be a love story of a young man dreaming of immigrating to Australia and will deal with the subject of racism and immigration issues.
"Racism will be a wall paper of the movie like Jannat which was again a love story dealing with a cricket match fixing issue," Bhatt said.
The film that will show some similar issues of Sanjay Dutt starrer 1986 film 'Naam' directed by Mahesh Bhatt is based on the love story of the young protagonist's (Emraan Hashmi) journey from apathy to sensitivity about the way young students are treated abroad.
Bhatt said, "I always aspire to make different kind of movies. That always have been my try. It has always been my drive my inspiration and I m confident this going to be a different film." "I believe in picking real life stories on big ideas and high concept ideas that stimulates the mind of people," he said.
