Anil Kapoor’s apology
“It has come to my attention that the trailer has offended some people because I am wearing the IAF uniform and using non-parliamentary language. I would like to sincerely offer my humble apologies for hurting feelings in a united way.
My character in the film is in uniform because he is an actor who plays the role of an officer. When he learns that his daughter has been kidnapped, the anger and rage he experiences and portrays is that of a distraught father.
It was only in the interest of staying true to the story that my character still wears the uniform in his quest to find his missing daughter.
It was never my intention nor the filmmakers intention to disrespect the Indian Air Force. I have always had the utmost respect and gratitude for the selfless service of all of our defense forces. So, I really apologize for unintentionally hurting someone’s feelings. “
