Atul Kulkarni's old tweet
Atul Kulkarni, who is making his debut as a screenwriter with Laal Singh Chaddha, had tweeted in 2013, "and what makes you think I'm a Hindu."
The tweet is going viral on social media and people are calling Atul Kulkarni anti-Hindu.?
Earlier, Aamir Khan had reacted to the boycott Laal Singh Chaddha trend. He said, "I feel sad that some of the people who are saying this, in their heart, they believe that I am someone who doesn't like India. In their hearts they believe, but it is untrue. It is rather unfortunate that some people feel that way. That's not the case. Please don't boycott my film. Please watch my film."
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut thinks the online hate against the film is Aamir Khan's plan. Calling him the mastermind, Ranaut said he started the trend.?
Taking to Instagram, Kangana Ranaut wrote, "I think all the negativity around the upcoming release Laal Singh Chadda is skillfully curated by mastermind Aamir Khan Ji himself. This year, no Hindi films have worked (barring one exception of a comedy sequel) only south films deeply rooted in Indian culture or with local flavour have worked. A Hollywood remake would have not worked anyway".
In her note, she added, "But now they will call India intolerant, Hindi films need to understand the pulse of audiences it's not about being a Hindu or Muslim. Even after Aamir Khan ji made Hinduphobic PK or called India intolerant, he gave the biggest hits of his life. Please stop making it about religion or ideology. It takes away from their bad acting and bad films."??
Laal Singh Chaddha is a remake of the Oscar-winning 1994 film Forrest Gump which starred Tom Hanks in the lead role.
