Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, who is known for his candid opinions, recently expressed his concern over the popularity of films like Gadar 2, The Kashmir Files, and Kerela Story.
In an interview with a publication, the actor labelled the popularity of such films “disturbing” and expressed his disappointment over how films that portray the truth of their times often go unnoticed.
In a conversation with The Free Press Journal, Naseeruddin said, “Now the more jingoist you are, the more popular you become, because this is what has been ruling this country. It’s not enough to love your country; but beat drums about it, and you have to create imaginary enemies. What these people don’t realise is that what they are doing is very harmful. In fact, films like Kerala Story and Gadar 2, I haven’t seen them, but I know what they are about.”
