Ram Gopal Varma has replaced controversial song Jana Gana Mana Rann with Vande Mataram in the final cut of his forthcoming movie Rann and says that the track will play in the background.
So is another controversy on the way as the filmmaker has moved from the country's national anthem to the national song?
"Not at all. What we have used of Vande Mataram are just these two words. I don't see anything controversial in this since it stands for Bow to thee, Mother. Tell me, what's wrong in using that?" Varma said.
Rann is about the media industry and Amitabh Bachchan plays media bigwig Harshvardhan Malik in the film that also stars Riteish Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Suchitra Krishnamurthy and Gul Panag.
Earlier this year, Varma's Rann came under fire when the film's first look was revealed with the song Jana Gana Mann Rann. Since the lyrics of the national anthem were altered to give it a new socio-political dimension, the matter reached the censor board and the court.
