All those politics but still no references
The first looks of Dibakar Bannerjee’s Shanghai are out and while many are complimenting the way the political thriller looks, there don’t seem to be any references at all, surprisingly enough for this genre. Sources close to the director say that it was something he had planned all along. “He doesn’t want the film targeting any individuals or situations. He wants to tell a tale where politics and revenge are used as ingredients and not the message,” the source says.
This means that though there are a few fiery dialogues, the audience would have to make up their own interpretations of what the situations mean. “See, you make a film with responsibility to talk about a general situation,” Dibakar says, “When we are talking about politics, corruption, money and the common man, we are not looking at any specific situation.”
