So in the film, we have seen how Muslims have been portrayed in a good and a bad way. But it is seen to be problematic, in a sense that..”Our earlier three motion pictures had dangerous Hindus, why wasn’t it an issue?: Rohit ShettySensing the place the reporter was making an attempt to guide him, Shetty lower her quick and remarked, “If I ask you one question… Jaikant Shikre (in Singham) was a Hindu Marathi. Then a second film came where a Hindu godman was there. Then in Simba, Durva Ranade was a Maharashtrian again. In these three, negative forces were Hindu, why isn’t that a problem?”Response given by Rohit Shetty to Quint journalist over allegations of #Islamophobia in#Sooryavanashi is commendable. pic.twitter.com/9lM7irAAUs— Shashank Shekhar Jha (@shashank_ssj) November 14, 2021 To which the Quint journalist, seemingly at a lack of phrases, replied, “No, my problem is not that, it’s just the way they have been portrayed, the good and the bad…”It modified my notion about some journalists: ShettyHowever, Shetty shut her for good this time by giving one other instance and concurrently taking a jibe on the ilk of such journalists, “If there is a terrorist who is from Pakistan, what caste will he be? We are not talking about the caste. It changed my point of view of a few journalists whom I used to like. That oh, they are portraying it like I have seen in brackets somebody writing bad Muslims being preached by upper-caste Hindus, which is very wrong. We never thought that way.”He additional added, “When our conscious is clear, and we did not think that way, why are people talking about it?

It is not the point of view of everyone but only a small segment. If they are objecting, it is them who need to change the perspective and not us.”Shut down the police for a day and see what occurs: ShettyAfter the reporter didn’t have her fill with juicy solutions, she tried to ratchet another controversy by remarking, “We have seen Sooryavanshi, Simba where the police is going through the path and doing the things they are not supposed to do, like an encounter. What do you have to say about the representation of cops in your films?”Shetty calmly replied, “Most of our sequences, of course except the climax, have originated from the real-life stories. They [Police] do not publicize what they are doing on a daily basis as we do. There are a lot of incidents that do not make it to the eye of the Public.”“Whoever asks me about my viewpoint on Police brutality, I only ask them to shut down Police headquarters for one day. You dial 100, and there is no one to answer.”Hindus are repeatedly proven in a foul mild, nobody bats an eye fixedWhile Dhar remained aloof from actuality, the reality is that Bollywood all through the years has depicted Hindus in a particularly dangerous mild.As reported by TFI, just lately, a movie titled ‘Jai Bhim’ starring Actor Surya, launched on Amazon Prime discovered itself in scorching waters for its controversial tackle the villains.The film, supposedly primarily based on real-life occasions of 1990 the place a lawyer fought to get justice for a tribal lady conveniently modifications the script and reveals the Vanniyar neighborhood because the villain.
