 Although Ramesh and Rohan Sippy have backed out of a commitment to produce Sujoy Ghosh’s lavish spectacle Aladdin, in which Amitabh Bachchan plays the genie, the director is not worried at all since the Big B has promised him his support.
"I’ve nothing to fear as long as God is on my side. And by God I mean Mr Bachchan. He’s genuinely been a genie in my career. He’s been with me through this project and so has the rest of my cast and crew," says Ghosh, who made the successful musical comedy Jhankaar Beats, and adds "If you have the support of those who matter, it hardly makes a difference if certain setbacks occur. Life isn’t always fair. So what?" Big B, known to be very close friends with the Sippys, not just through his own association with Ramesh in Sholay and other films but also through Abhishek’s friendship with Rohan, has decided not to let his personal relations colour his professional judgment.
"Sujoy is young, ambitious and totally mad. He has dreams," said Amitabh. Ghosh has decided to produce Aladdin himself. "Why not? I have the confidence. And I have my team behind me. So, yes, I am producing Aladdin on my own," says Ghosh. As for the Sippys, they remain tight-lipped about this. After some prompting, Rohan said: "Since we are in the process of redefining our arrangements with Sujoy, it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment at this time." But the larger picture seems slightly unprofessional. It appears that the Sippys pulled the plug on Ghosh’s spectacle to pump up the Nikhil Advani directed Akshay Kumar action film that they’re producing.
