/> Sanjay Gupta is pissed off by the fact that his support of The Dirty Picture for Best Picture at the Screen awards, has been made to look like a personal attack on Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara (ZNMD).

Says Gupta vehemently, "I have nothing against Farhan or Zoya. I have always admired and appreciated their work. When I walked in to the meeting it was a hung jury.

I gave my vote to Dirty Picture not because of Fandango but because I believed The Dirty Picture was a better film as was also proven by the fact that it won 6 major awards including awards for acting, writing and most importantly direction. "

Gupta says even jury head Shekhar Kapoor was convinced by the similarities between ZNMD and Fandango. "Shekhar Kapur in the first 30 seconds of watching the Fandango trailer said ‘Zindagi is out'.

A jury comprising of such eminent names such as Pradeep Sarkar, John Matthew, Bhanu Athaiya, Shekhar Kapoor, Rensil de silva etc. cannot be swayed because of anything incorrect that I say.

So let's not be sore losers and make me the villain. Please!"

Gupta's final word on the topic. "Being a film maker I believe a film that wins best director deserves to win best film. And the entire jury voted for Milan Luthria, no contest. "
