Anurag Kashyap offers a genuine apology on Manmarziyaan controversy!
Fri September 21st, 2018
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is known for a certain category of movie and now with Manmarziyaan, he has stepped out of that zone that he marked for himself. The movie stars Abhishek Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles. Well, Abhishek played the character of Robbie, a cut surd. In numerous scenes, you will see the character of Robbie smoking and this has created an issue for the director. Some members of the Sikh community has raised an objection for the same.
Lately, Anurag has tweeted his 'statement on the brewing controversy'. He told that he is not in India and has been reading about Sikh community feeling offended by the smoking scenes. He stated, "This film is not commenting on a community, it talks about individuals and their choices. Every step of the way, we asked for guidance from Sikh people for the film."
His statement further read, "The city of Amritsar opened their hearts and doors to us and everything was done with utmost care. Not a single thing was shot without guidance. We wanted to show things the way they are. No religion teaches crime or anything anti-humanity, yet those things happen. It doesn’t mean they are offending the religion."
He further added, "To those whose hurt is genuine, I offer a genuine apology, that wasn’t my intention. And for those who are doing it for attention, I am glad you have got the attention."
