Asked whether he feels relieved now, he said: “I think people who want to get publicity, they target films but I wasn’t bothered with all that because I knew what I have tried to showcase through Mulk.
“I didn’t make this film to criticize anybody or to hurt anybody’s sentiments. I always felt that Mulk is a love story between Hindus and Muslims.”
He further said that films like these can start a dialogue to address the issue. “We don’t make discussions on these issues. Our prejudices are well cemented in our DNA, so if we start a dialogue about it, then I think we will be able to break that glass ceiling.”
Makers of the movie on Wednesday hosted a special screening of the film for film critics and the media in Delhi and Mumbai, and most critics gaven thumps-up to the movie.
