Muzaffar Ali: Inspired And Inspiring

I find Muzaffar Ali terribly amusing. Consider the two pieces linked below.

Exhibit One:

Bollywood writer-director Muzaffar Ali, who also dons the hat of a painter, says he has borrowed his sense of geometry from the famous artist SH Raza.

Exhibit Two:

Filmmaker and fashion designer Muzzaffar Ali is upset that Amitabh Bachchan’s look in The Last Lear has been styled on him and says he doesn’t want anyone to imitate his looks.

Rituparno Ghosh, the director of The Last Lear, says that Amitabh’s character was “supposed to look like Rabindranath Tagore”. Wouldn’t it be lovely if the Tagore estate now protested that Muzaffar Ali has styled himself after Rabida?
