Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has never been afraid to call a spade a spade...or a goon a goon. In 2009 he had referred to a prominent Maharashtrian politician as a “master rapist”. Today Hansal sees a lot of those “master rapists” trying to violate the country. Fiercely opposed to fundamentalist forces Hansal recently signed a controversial petition pleading for voters to desist from voting for Narendra Modi. Says Mehta, “I am not asking voters to not vote for Narendra Modi. I am asking them to vote against communal divisive forces. God save this country if such forces come into power.” Hansal has pitched his tent with the Aam Aadmi Party. “I think Arvind Kejriwal deserves a chance. People who doubt his ability to run the country are looking only at his short-term performance. Arvind has much larger plans.”
