Amit says: “I am alarmed. Unlike hate content or sensitive content, the post where threats were received was simply a movie ad and also a biopic of the Prime Minister. I was surprised by the reaction. There was nothing scandalous about saying that my film is being re-released. It is regrettable that law-abiding citizens like ourselves are targeted by ruthless hate propaganda. Threats show that cyberbullying is no longer rare. Now it is a norm. Specifically in Bollywood, which has been in the midst of controversy, a specific unfortunate incident is used to smear anyone who is remotely connected to the industry. ”
Talking about the problems filmmakers face when publishing their content, Amit adds, “Filmmakers always fell prey to agendas. With a lot of money at stake, Bollywood is an easy target. The industry is increasingly viewed through a political lens rather than an artistic lens. The problems in current times have been compounded by recent controversies that have made public opinion adverse. With cinemas still off-limits to the public and government restrictions in place, Bollywood is severely affected due to the closure. ”
