The veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah called The Kerala Story a ‘dangerous trend’. Shah also compared this trend to Nazi Germany.
“On one hand, it is a dangerous trend, no doubt. We seem to be heading the way of Nazi Germany where in Hitler’s time, the filmmakers were co-opted, attempted to be co-opted, by the supreme leader to make films praising him and what he has done for the countrymen, and running down the Jewish community,” he said.
3) Manoj Tiwari REACTS to Naseeruddin Shah’s comments over The Kerala Story
While talking to an entertainment news channel, Manoj Tiwari called Naseeruddin Shah a good actor but added that his intentions are not good. “I say this with a heavy heart,” Tiwari continued. He elaborates his statement by saying that when films with a guy sitting at a shop and passing remarks on women were made, he did not say anything. Manoj Tiwari says that films such as The Kerala Story and The Kashmir Files have been made on facts. He further adds that if Naseeruddin Shah has a problem with it, he can go to court. “It is very easy to talk. The way he has identified himself, it is not good as an Indian and as a human being,” Manoj tells Aaj Tak.
