Anubhav Sinha’s ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’ has faced criticism from some social media users after the hijackers were named ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar’ on the show. Now, Kangana Ranaut has joined many on social media in criticising Anubhav Sinha’s latest series, ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’.
Commenting on another post, The ‘Tejas’ actress wrote on X, “Law of the land is that one can show unimaginable amount of violence and nudity on OTT platforms without any consequence or censorship; one can even distort real life events to suit their politically motivated sinister motives.There is all the freedom for communists or leftists across the world for such anti-national expressions, but as a nationalist no OTT platform allows us to make films that revolve around the integrity and unity of Bharat (sic).”
“It seems censorship is only for some of us who don’t want tukde of this nation and make films on historical facts. It’s hugely demotivating and unjust (sic).” The actress added.
Reportedly, the five hijackers were identified as Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Sayed, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Zahoor Mistry, and Shakir, all members of a Pakistan-based terrorist organization. However, in the show IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, the terrorists identify themselves as ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar,’ with one even referring to himself as ‘Burger.’
‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack ‘depicts the 1999 hijacking of an Indian aircraft by five terrorists, which occurred on December 24, 1999, just 40 minutes after the flight departed from Kathmandu. The show also features Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Patralekhaa, Dia Mirza, Arvind Swamy, and others.
The six-episode series began streaming on the OTT platform on August 29.
