[edit] Controversy

His credentials have become controversial in recent times. There is a criticism that he uses his movie reviews to settle personal scores against actors refusing to act in his movies [3]. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan is the most well known target of his. He was supposed to make a movie "Jai" in 2003-2004 with superstar Amitabh Bachchan[4], which didn't happen for unknown reasons. It is not clear if this is the reason for his rift with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan[5].
