Ranveer Singh feels let down by the way the government handled the row over his historical drama Padmaavat. Recently the Bollywood star dodged the question repeatedly, but said he was enraged by the protests which he felt bordered on fascism.
“It’s bizarre when I watch it,” he said of the scale of protests against the movie, when asked if people have become cynical about affairs in the country.
“I can’t believe that it’s 2018. It is so blatant that it’s bizarre. It borders on fascism. I found it appalling, I was in shock which then turned into rage.”
Ranveer was at the News 18 Rising India Summit where he spoke his heart out about how he felt “helpless” in the “frustrating” incidents that preceded the release of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial in January.
