Mission Majnu: Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui has slammed Mission Majnu starring Sidharth Malhotra for ‘misrepresentation’ of Pakistanis within the film, which he tagged as ‘distasteful’ and ‘factually incorrect’ and slammed it for ‘poor story, poorer execution, poorest research’. Adnan took to Instagram to share his thought. The actor, who has labored within the Hindi movie ‘Mom’ starring late actress Sridevi, wrote: “How much misrepresentation is too much misrepresentation? Bollywood has the answer. I mean come on, yaar with all the money you have, hire some good researchers to do homework on us. Or allow me to help.” He shared Pakistanis “don’t wear skull caps, surma and tawiz”, which Sidharth was seen donning to play his character Tariq within the movie directed by Shantanu Bagchi.
Siddiqui wrote: “Make sure to take notes – no, we don’t wear skull caps, surma, tawiz; no, we don’t ask janab about their mijaz; no, we don’t go around throwing adaab.” He added: “There’s so much in #MissionMajnu that’s distasteful & factually incorrect. The hero’s saviour complex would’ve accentuated more if the villain was shown at par. A weak antagonist embellishes even weaker protagonist.” He mentioned “Poor story, poorer execution, poorest research. Next time, come and visit us. We are good hosts. Will show you how we look like, dress up and live.”
The movie, which launched on Netflix, follows Amandeep Singh IPS, a RAW discipline operative who heads to Pakistan on an undercover mission to analyze about Pakistan’s involvement in creating nuclear weapons.
