New Delhi, January 23: Film maker Anil Sharma is flustered that even though close to a decade has passed by ever since he made an all time blockbuster in the form of GADAR – EK PREM KATHA (2001), the tag of ‘jingoistic’ director continues to be attached to him.
He agrees though that his interim films like THE HERO (2003) and AB TUMHARE HAWALE WATAN SAATHIYO (2004) have come close to being patriotic saga. “However, terming them as jingoistic is taking things a little too far”, fumes Anil Sharma whose last directorial outing was APNE (2007), a film which had boxing as its central theme.
