Dhar Defends Films Amid Propaganda Claims

Director Aditya Dhar has previously addressed allegations of propaganda surrounding his films, including 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' and the 'Dhurandhar' series. These claims often surfaced due to the films' political themes and release timing. Dhar clarified in an old interview that the decision for a film's release date rests with the producers, who consider business and economic factors rather than political calendars.

He further explained that his directorial approach involves narrating events chronologically, aiming for a balanced perspective. Dhar stated that when viewers saw 'Uri: The Surgical Strike,' they recognized its balanced portrayal of events, including acknowledging which government made certain decisions. He also connected the concept of 'Naya Bharat' in his film to his personal experiences growing up in Kashmir and his desire to portray India's proactive response to terrorism.
