TAP TO UNMUTE

Haseeb Ahmed, a Congress worker from Allahabad, has put up posters announcing that he would bestow a reward of Rs 1 lakh to the person who would blacken director Madhur Bhandarkar’s face due to the plot of his upcoming movie, Indu Sarkar.

When questioned about the act, Haseeb Ahmed said, “Bhandarkar has no right to drag the name of a Bharat Ratna awardee through the mud.”

This incident comes merely days after Mumbai Congress Chief Sanjay Nirupam wrote a letter to the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to ensure that Bhandarkar’s upcoming movie does not portray Congress leaders in bad light.

Director Madhur Bhandarkar responded to such allegations and threats by saying, “The emergency era that I am trying to recreate has been documented by documentaries, articles and even books and they have not been subjected to such scrutiny. I am being pressured and threatened to not show the political party or its leaders in a bad light.”
