Twitterati Slams Anurag Basu With #Hinduphobic_AnuragBasu Due To His Film Ludo

Anurag Basu’s Ludo released a few days ago on Netflix. The film has a talented ensemble cast – Abhishek Bachchan, Sanya Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rohit Saraf and Pearle Maaney. The film received great reviews from the critics and movie lovers too. But now, #Hinduphobic_AnuragBasu
A few days after its release, it looks like some people have taken offence. Many people are not happy with a Ramayan play from the film. In the play, Rajkummar Rao plays
Shurpanakha. It’s the scene where the actor who plays Laxman chops off Rao’s nose in the scene. However, the actor ends up hurting his nose for real. This angers Rajkummar’s character Aalu who starts abusing. There’s another scene featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Inayat Varma where three godly figures are shown. People think that’s an insult too.
Due to this scene, a lot of people have got offended. They are of the opinion that Anurag Basu has insulted Hinduism in his film Ludo. One person tweeted, “#Hinduphobic_AnuragBasu

Would it be inappropriate for Hindus to think that their patience & tolerance is taken for granted when their religious sentiments are being hurt daily@MIB_India please take cognizance & take action against @basuanurag
The makers of the show inserted it on their own. There does not appear to be any justification for force-fitting such a narrative into the adaptation of the story, apart from petty political agenda.
So far, Anurag Basu and any actor from the film have not reacted to this negative trend.
What do you have to say about this negative trend? Do you really think Ludo has hurt anyone’s sentiments? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
