Filmmaker Karan Johars upcoming directorial “Takht” has come in the line of fire after a controversial tweet by the film’s writer Hussain Haidry about Hindus.<\/p>\n
The hashtag #BoycottTakht is currently one of the top trends on Twitter, with netizens slamming Haidry for allegedly defaming Hindus in his tweets, reports zoomtventertainment.com.<\/p>\n
According to the portal, Hussain’s Twitter account has been locked but screenshots of his tweets with phrases like “Hindu terrorists” have gone viral, with people slamming him.<\/p>\n
Majority of the tweets have been directed towards filmmaker Karan Johar, urging him to remove Hussain from the team of “Takht”, or else they would boycott the period drama.<\/p>\n
Johar is yet to respond.<\/p>\n
A user wrote: “Hey @DharmaMovies this Man who is on Your Pay roll is abusing Hind Dharma day-n-night.. So we are Boycotting Your Movie #BoycottTakht…@karanjohar @smritiirani.”<\/p>\n
Another tweeted: “This guy is the writer of Movie Takht. But Shameless Hindus Like @karanjohar is Still Doing Movie With This… And Shameless Hindus Will Watch This Movie In Theaters Face with medical mask #BoycottTakht #takht.”<\/p>\n
A Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt fan wrote: “Even though i like @RanveerOfficial and @aliaa08 but this time i’m gonna Boycott Takht … Ase anti national ko director rakhta he #KaranJohar shame on you…nikal pahli fursat me!”<\/p>\n
This isn’t the first time Hussain has been condemned for his tweets. A few weeks ago, a series of his tweets had surfaced in which he wrote: “I want to kill a person. Really.”<\/p>\n
According to zoomtventertainment.com, Hussain, in another tweet, was also seen instigating violence and asking people to pick a fight, burn houses and even kill a man if there is a chance. He had reportedly also badmouthed Brahmins by calling them the root of all evils in the country.<\/p>\n
“Takht” is a historical drama about the Mughal rivalry for the throne between Aurangzeb and his brother Dara Shukoh. While Ranveer Singh plays Dara, Vicky is cast as Aurangzeb. The film’s multi-star cast also includes Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. It is slated for a Christmas 2021 release. (IANS)<\/p>\n
