Insiders say that Sudhir feels the content of the film will turn people off from exploring the deep oceans and will make swimmers fear sharks.
Says our source, `Although Sudhirbhai appreciated the efforts of his friend in making the film, he doesn't think it's a responsible film when it comes to spreading positive messages about saving the environment. However, the special effects in the film have been loved by the audiences.`
One wonders then perhaps if the filmmaker has seen some of Hollywood's greatest hits, all shot far out in the sea, including Steven Spielberg's Jaws.
On his part, Sudhir says, `People will unnecessarily get scared of an animal that in itself faces danger from humanity. Sharks are scary yes, but we should understand that they are not habitual predators.`
In his defence, Anubhav says, `I think he is being very sensitive about the matter and sharks have known to harm people too. It's just a story and this isn't a sweeping statement on sharks.`
