After the release of the trailer of \u2018Fighter\u2019, viewers and showbiz personalities are taking to social media to vent their anger over the anti-Pakistan content shown in the trailer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They are of the opinion that art should be for art\u2019s sake, and there is no room for its use for propaganda and distortion of facts, because entertainment crosses borders and even negates patriotism, which hurts the feelings of those who want to remain neutral when it comes. to use movies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They don\u2019t like Pakistan-centric content for nothing and the filmmaker\u2019s attempt to use the entertainment platform not to entertain the audience but for ulterior purposes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The film\u2019s explicit stance on sensitive geopolitical issues led to dissatisfaction among viewers, sparked debate on social media and prompted individuals, including make-up artist Natasha Ali Lakhani, to voice their concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In a post featuring a carousel of images, Lakhani included a photo of herself with Hrithik Roshan along with images depicting the fighting in Kashmir and the film\u2019s trailer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis is a picture from my last trip to India,\u201d the makeup guru began, \u201cback in the good old days when we went to the premiere of my Sonya Baja\u2019s movie, Taj Mahal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sanjay Khan was the director and we were invited to Zayed Khan\u2019s wedding party while we were there. Hrithik was such a superstar at that time but when I saw him with his family\/friends he was so down to earth and humble and I remember how sweet he was with his pregnant wife at that time.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many on X pointed out the trailer\u2019s glaring flaws and shortcomings. \u201cIndia\u2019s propaganda machine is different because it is not some obscure event from the 1950s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It happened four years ago and resulted in one Indian aircraft being shot down by Pakistan and one Indian helicopter being shot down by India itself. What\u2019s the point of this movie?\u201d asked one X user.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another said, \u201cThis is so bad even for a propaganda film. They forced a Twitter Bhakt to write the dialogues.\u201d Another user sneered: \u201cPakistan occupied Kashmir, don\u2019t make me laugh.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
