Split Screen Podcast: Episode 26 – Sanjay Leela Bhansali Attacked On The Set Of ‘Padmavati’

Published by Shah Shahid on

When I started the Split Screen Podcast, my goal was to encourage discussion and hopefully promote an understanding of the concept of film adaptations. The understanding of the limitations, but also freedoms associated with adapting any book, play, or real life incident into a 2 hour movie. Given that, I felt that the most recent incident on the set of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest film ‘Padmavati’ warranted a discussion.

So join Samarpita Dutta and I as we discuss creative licenses in Episode 26 of the Split Screen Podcast.

If you’re new to the Podcast:

The Split Screen Podcast compares and analyzes movies that are adaptations of other works, directly with the source material that they were inspired by. In this episode, host Shah Shahid is joined by a guest as they discussed an incident on a Bollywood movie set, and the precedent it sets for remakes in general.

Highlights!
