'Indian directors lack courage to take up real issues'
``Indian film directors lack the courage to take up real issues of India today.''
``Today in India, the writer lives with dread of the mob outside. Filmmakers are not underground revolutionaries. We are not armed to deal with crazy mobs. Timidity becomes the philosophy and fear is ruling over us,'' said Bhatt, known for directing films like ``Zakhm'' and ``Saaransh''.
