Journalism of Courage
Playing the role of a journalist in his next film Rann,actor Riteish Deshmukh talks about being in the news
If you are a follower of this actor,you were likely to be posted with the news of his arrival in the city and also his fondness for it. Off to Pune I love that city said his tweet as Riteish Deshmukh drove down last weekend to promote his forthcoming film Rann. Interacting with the fans the star spoke about the film,his makeover and the city where he studied for a year.
Rann also has Amitabh Bachchan,Sudeep (seen in Verma’s Phoonk),Gul Panag and Neetu Chandra. Deshmukh plays Purab Shastri whose stringent opinions on people centric news clashes with the differing powers. Sharing his outlook on the current news-making he adds,It is easy to flip channels and comment on news but media is much more behind those headlines. It is all about the struggle that goes into procuring news,easier seen than done. Reporters,based on the sheer fact that they can question anyone from politicians,industrialist,sportsperson to an actor should make it unbiased,since the question is always offensive and the answer defensive. Being in the entertainment industry I at times observe that news are being created to simply fill the space. Media should project the approach of the masses as they are supposed to do,but it is necessary at the same time to not ignore the other side simply because it is apparently powerful.
