SHOCKING: Anurag Kashyap slams PM Narendra Modi on his Pakistan trip

29 Oct 2016

Ever since Uri attacks, things havent been good for Pakistani artists in India. They have been receiving threats from political parties, they got banned by IMPPA and the theatre owners are banning the films that star Pakistani artists. Karan Johar s upcoming directorial venture Ae Dil Hai Mushkil too has been under fire as it stars Fawad Khan.Readers may recall that Cinema Owners Exhibitors Association of India (COEAI) announced that they would not screen any movies involving Pakistani artistes in the four states- Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Goa. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently came out in support of Karan Johar for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on why the film industry is always the target. Anurag Kashyap also questioned PM Modi about his sudden visit to Pakistan to meet their PM Nawaz Sharif. He even asked Modi to apologise to the citizens of India for his visit. Right after his series of tweets, Anurag started receiving a lot of backlash from the Twitterati for calling out PM Modi. He didnt end his ranting here. After being trolled, he questioned PM Modi again on what kind of security film industry has from the people who keep threatening them during film releases. He said that the industry will not live in fear. They have been vulnerable and paying the price for everything for the longest time. The World must learn from us.. We solve all our problems by blaming it on movies and banning it.. https://twitter.com/hashtag/ADHM?src=hash #ADHM .With you on this https://twitter.com/karanjohar @karanjohar Anurag Kashyap (@anuragkashyap72) https://twitter.com/anuragkashyap72/status/787262926944137216 October 15, 2016 https://twitter.com/narendramodi @narendramodi Sir you havent yet said sorry for your trip to meet the Pakistani PM..
