Mira Nair points at the Bollywood A-list

Nair who is one of the four directors roped in by Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to make short films to spread AIDS awareness is angry on the biwigs of Bollywood. “Lots of stars don’t want to be associated with the virus. Some live and don’t learn,” said the lady director who has also been roped in by Warner Brothers to make their big budget film “Shantaram” starring Johnny Depp. Denying to such an ace director is a bad decision but denying for a good cause is even worse. Bollywood celebrities have their own strategies to keep themselves in news.
