Bheed: Pankaj Kapur Slams People For Labelling Anubhav Sinha’s Film On Lockdown As ‘Anti-National’, “It’s Ridiculous That One Small Teaser…”

Ever since the teaser and trailer of Bheed has been dropped online, the film has found itself surrounded by controversy. Many people are jumping the gun and calling the work as ‘anti-national’. This is clearly an illogical thing as the film is yet to release in theatres. Even veteran actor Pankaj Kapur has come out slamming those people who are spreading negativity about it.

For the unversed, Bheed is based on the Covid lockdown. It is helmed by Anubhav Sinha. The teaser and trailer of the same was unveiled a few days back. As Anubhav is known for raising his opinions which aren’t well suited to the ideology of the ruling party in power, many believe that through his upcoming film, the director is trying to promote his agenda by slamming the present government at the cost of India’s image.

Now, reacting to it, Pankaj Kapur, who plays an important role in Bheed, has come out bashing the people for spreading negativity about the film even before its release. While talking to Indian Express, he said, “You must realise that in our society, which is what you’ll also see in our film, that before a drop of rain happens, people will announce monsoons. We are so impatient and opinionated. Instead of being patient and saying, ‘Ok, let’s reflect upon what is happening’, we jump the gun. You can opine, but first watch the film?”
