However, the content of the other results, particularly from Pinkvilla and The Indian Express, closely matches the headline and theme of that article. Here is a summary based on the available information: Ram Gopal Varma admitted that the intimate scenes between Amitabh Bachchan and Jiah Khan in the film *Nishabd* were controversial and considered a mistake, primarily because they did not align with Amitabh Bachchan's established image. The film, released in 2007, depicted an unusual relationship between a 60-year-old family man (Bachchan) and an 18-year-old girl (Khan), which was inspired by the novel *Lolita*. Varma acknowledged that the storyline and the intimate scenes were difficult for audiences to accept due to Bachchan's iconic status. While he defended the film as one of his most sensitive works and praised Bachchan's performance, he conceded that casting Bachchan in such a role was a misstep given the public's perception of the actor. The film received mixed reviews, was criticized for its controversial plot, and performed poorly at the box office.
