Amitabh Bachchan is a consummate chameleon. You got to hand it to him for seamlessly merging and adapting to the political atmosphere in the country. Once upon a time, he was very close to the Nehru-Gandhis during the high noon of the Congress party rule. Then, he hitched his wagon to the Samajwadi party a few years ago. And now that the BJP is dominating the political landscape of the country, he has converted to being a Modi devotee. What else can explain the shameful silence by this holier-than-though patriarch of the Hindi film industry, when he would not speak a word in support of the filmmakers right to make the movie that they want to make in relation to the raging controversy around the yet to be released movie Padmavati.
