We can\u2019t allow the shoot of such films on the campus, it might hurt the sentiments of millions,\u201d officiating Vice-Chancellor Sabuj Koli Sen said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>At the meeting with university officials, the director of Nalini, Ujjwal Chatterjee, was apprised of the decision, Sen said. \u201cThis is an educational institution. We don\u2019t want to disrupt its environment by allowing the shooting of commercial films,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The film is based on written documents and \u201cextensive research\u201d on 17-year-old Tagore\u2019s \u201crelation\u201d with Annapurna Turkhad in 1878-79, director Chatterjee had said in the past. Turkhad was the daughter of a Maharashtra-based family friend, who taught young Tagore western manners before his trip to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Chatterjee, who claimed that former officiating vice-chancellor Swapan Kumar Datta had granted him written permission for campus shoots in January, asserted that he would move Ministry of Human Resource Development for its intervention into the matter. He argued that the feature film was a Tagore biopic, which drew instances from researched documents.<\/p>\n<p>To Sen\u2019s view that Nalini was a commercial film, Chatterjee said, \u201cEvery film has a commercial side. But films like Nalini are artistic exercises which stem from the desire to document a part of history. We will take up the issue with the Centre and produce all previous correspondences with former officiating VC Swapan Kumar Datta, including the last letter on January 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Datta, as officiating VC, had given consent to the shooting on behalf of Visva-Bharati after the central university\u2019s suggestions for deleting a scene and revising the script were taken into consideration, Chatterjee said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visva-Bharati University has refused to grant permission for on-campus shooting of Nalini &#8211; a Priyanka Chopra production on the \u201crelationship\u201d between teenaged Rabindranath Tagore and a Marathi girl, university sources said. \u201cWe have come to the decision after discussing the script with all authorities concerned, including ashramites and experts on Tagore.
