Amidst the ongoing debate about ‘The Kerala Story’ ban and its exaggeration of numbers of women who reportedly joined the ISIS from Kerala, veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah flagged concern about the rising Islamophobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric in the country.
Shah alleged that “Muslim hating” has become fashionable and is being campaigned through propaganda movies. The actor is one
of Bollywood’s stalwarts who never shies away from speaking his mind.
He frequently expresses his views on political decisions and has been a vocal critic of the ruling BJP party.
Shah expressed his views and said that these are worrying times as certain propaganda movies are being amplified with an agenda. He added that the “mood on-screen” is an on-ground reflection.
