Bollywood Movie Dear Friend Hitler Press Meet
Indian history has been revised time and again on celluloid, but debutant director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar moves into a global canvas with ‘Dear Friend Hitler’ to capture the last few days of the Nazi dictator in his Berlin bunker after his downfall in 1945. It shows Hitler in his underground bunker, his insecurities, his charisma, his paranoia, and portrays his relationship with his close associates during the last few days of his life. Though set in the backdrop of the Second World War,‘Dear Friend Hitler’ is not a war film. Instead, it focuses on the positive side of Hitler’s personality and how he indirectly contributed towards the Indian independence and his love for India.
Veteran actor Anupam Kher was the first choice of director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar to play the role of the Nazi leader. But Kher opted out of the project as soon as he came to know that the film had sparked off outrage in the Jewish community. He distanced himself from the project as it was creating ill-will amongst his fans. The film has actress Neha Dhupia play Hitler’s secretary, long time companion and wife, Eva Braun while director Rakesh Ranjan Kumar is hopeful about Kher changing his mind. The film is expected to go on the floors next month as announced during the launch of the film at Novotel in Mumbai on 9th June 2010.

The film has not gone down too well with the European media either as they felt that the film’s content glorifies Hitler. Clearing the air about all the controversy it generated, the director of the film said that the film does not glorify Hitler but depicts Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as the hero. It shows the difference in ideologies of the two great leaders. Rakesh Ranjan Kumar further added that all the controversy that is arising is due to the confusion about the script.
