Krishna Prem on this film
Here is a quote from Krishna Prem's book Osho, India and Me, p.310. They are talking about the visiting Christopher Hitchens (see also here), who has said something about the BBC acquiring film material of this film :
- “What he writes doesn’t worry me as much as that bit he dropped about Veet Artho selling the BBC some of his footage, I reply. That mock encounter group Laxmi had set up for Veet Artho and his German crew to film is still, for me, one of her major booboos.
- The subject’s been unbroachable ever since and so, since she’s in Delhi, I take my concern to one of her secretaries.
- I'll get onto the BBC and tell them Veet Artho’s broken his contract with us --which he has, the schmuck-- and let them know he’s got no right to sell them anything, that the film legally belongs to us,” she says. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”
