The actor pointed out that the movie had a hidden meaning that terrorism does not have any religion and hate do not belong to any community. Yet, all four terrorists were Muslims. He said, “There was a hidden message in it. All four terrorists were Muslims. I even asked Neeraj if it was deliberate. I asked him why they didn’t have a Tamilian also? He said there’s nothing political in this.”
He continued, “There was no Naxal, No Maoist or from the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), all four of them, Muslims.”
