Border 2 Producer Slams Online Trolls
27 Jan
Summary
- Producer Bhushan Kumar refused to bow to online outrage.
- Diljit Dosanjh faced backlash over Sardaar Ji 3 controversy.
- Border 2 has earned Rs 180 crore domestically.
Producer Bhushan Kumar has firmly addressed online trolling surrounding the film Border 2, asserting that creative decisions are paramount and not subject to public pressure. The film's casting, particularly of Diljit Dosanjh, became a point of contention due to an earlier Sardaar Ji 3 controversy.
Kumar explained to Hindustan Times that the casting choices were made with artistic conviction. He highlighted that pressure mounted after the film began production, but insisted that companies should not yield to trolls, or they risk not making movies. Director Anurag Singh also supported Dosanjh, noting that public perception is often based on assumptions rather than knowing the individual personally.
The Sardaar Ji 3 controversy involved Diljit Dosanjh casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir amid political tensions. This led to industry bans and warnings to Border 2 producers. Despite rumors of Dosanjh's removal, Kumar's intervention and Dosanjh's subsequent social media activity dismissed these claims.
