Waris Pathan: ‘RRR 2’ Made to Defame Muslims, Boycott It
1 min read
Box-office titan ‘RRR 2’ with Ranveer Singh has captivated cinema halls nationwide, earning accolades for its breathtaking sequences and relentless energy that belies its marathon length. Thrilled spectators can’t get enough, but controversy lurks in the shadows of success.
AIMIM firebrand Waris Pathan has fired the first salvo, denouncing the film as a malicious ploy to discredit Muslims. ‘I don’t touch movies dripping with venom,’ he told media in Mumbai, admitting to skipping the predecessor as well. Pathan portrayed it as systematic sabotage, citing a lineage of films from ‘Kerala-1’ onward that vilify his community.
Urging restraint in content creation, he advocated for stories rooted in truth and unity. ‘Plenty of noble topics exist—why peddle division for dollars?’ Pathan implored a ban on such divisive works and beseeched audiences to vote with their feet. He accused the industry of moral bankruptcy, where greed trumps the greater good.
As ‘RRR 2’ soars commercially, Pathan’s boycott plea spotlights Bollywood’s tightrope walk between profit and principle. The clash reveals fault lines in India’s entertainment ecosystem, where reels can reel in division. Stakeholders watch closely as this saga unfolds, pondering cinema’s power to unite or unravel the social weave.
