Asians not invited to The Rising preview in Britain 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, August 9, 2005 - 05:28 IST
Recently the makers of The Rising held a preview of the film in Britain but the journalists over there were quite disappointed. The disappointment was not caused from the fact that they did not like what they saw in The Rising. It was because of what they did not see. The Asian film journalists in Britain were not invited to the preview of the film for which they are quite upset. Only British film critics were given an entry.
As per sources this is because producer Bobby Bedi wants to promote the film among the western audience who are largely influenced by reviews for their choice of Indian films. The Asian audiences settled overseas will anyway catch up with the film for Aamir Khan. This racial discrimination ironically comes from a film that in a way talks against it!
But buzz is that the Asian film critics who are quite offended from being kept away from the film will strike back with negative reviews on the film.
