Rohit Shetty is a popular director and producer. His movies are a hit as always and this time, he worked with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif for his movie Sooryavanshi. Meanwhile, the filmmaker recently gave a befitting reply in an interview, when he was asked about the portrayal of ‘good Muslim bad Muslim’ in the film. The director defended the question like a pro and simply asked why his three villains in the previous film, who were Hindus, was not the problem.
Rohit Shetty was being interviewed by the Quint journalist Abira Dhar, to talk about the success of Sooryavanshi, however, the Singham director was annoyed when he saw that she talked about showing Muslims in a good and bad light, she even called it ‘problematic’. Responding to the question, Rohit said, “If I ask you one question, Jaykant Shikre was Hindu a Marathi, in this universe second came a Hindu Godman was there, then in Simmba a Maharashtrian again. These three negative forces were Hindu. Why isn’t that a problem?”
Later when Abira Dhar tried to defend her stance, Rohit Shetty interrupted and said, “If there is a terrorist who is from Pakistan, what caste will he be? It changed my point of view of a few journalists whom I used to like. That oh, they are portraying it like I have seen in brackets somebody writing bad Muslims being preached by upper-caste Hindus, which is very wrong. We never thought that way.”
