Javed Akhtar And Shabana Azmi Requests Bollywood To Take A Strong Stand

As it is widely known that the movie ‘Padmavati’ has become a national topic. Several groups in the country are outraging against the movie. Moreover, some groups are even sending out death threats publicly to the stars and the director of the movie.

The stars and the director of ‘Padmavati’ have also been provided with police protection by the government. Regarding the issue, veteran celebrity Javed Akhtar was quoted as saying, “the people who say they will eradicate terrorism, can’t ensure that a film is released. For discussion’s sake, even if one was to accept that somebody’s feelings have been hurt, that she was indeed a historical figure, and so on, what are we doing about it? Are you going to cut somebody’s nose or chop off somebody’s head? Is that how a civilised country will work?”.

Talking further about the issue, Shabana Azmi was quoted as saying, “To me, it is a very sorry state of affairs. My point to the film industry is that it is now or never. If we do not take a strong stand now, the situation will only get worse. The writing is clearly on the wall”.
