Netizens Reaction on social media
“In ‘Shamshera’, Sanjay Dutt who plays the villain is shown wearing a ‘tripund tilak.’ There was no reason to portray the villain with the religious identity of a Hindu. But they did. No matter the storyline Bollywood will always find a way to give it an anti-Hindu spin,” wrote a Twitter
Another user wrote, “Portraying the ‘Villains with TILAK and with other Hindu identities’ ‘ Is a malicious attempt of Bollywood to tarnish Hinduism. The new movie shamshera is yet another attempt by the karachiwood to defame Hinduism let’s not let them be successful in it #BoycottShamshera”.
Another disgruntled user tweeted, “There is a reason why Bollywood is considered the breeding ground of Hinduphobia, Insulting Hindu Religion. Look how YRF is happy and saying that Evil never looked so good. Here the villain is BRAHMIN. Do you see the hatred towards Hindus?
The almost three-minute-long trailer introduces Ranbir Kapoor as the titular hero, a Robin Hood-like figure from a tribe who steals from the wealthy.
Dutt, who had famously played the bald-headed baddie Kancha Cheena in Malhotra’s 2012 movie ‘Agneepath’, is once again playing the antagonist. He essays the part of Daroga Shudh Singh, a ruthless cop tasked by the British to rein in Shamshera’s tribe. ‘War’ star Vaani Kapoor features in the trailer as Sona, a dancer and love interest of Ranbir Kapoor’s character.
Towards the end of the trailer, the makers confirmed that Ranbir Kapoor is pulling off a double role in the film as he is also confirmed to be playing the part of Shamsher’s father.
Shamshera’, which was announced in May 2018, is set to hit the theatres in IMAX on July 22. It will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Ranbir Kapoor’s last big-screen release was 2018’s ‘Sanju’. Following ‘Shamshera’ the actor will also be seen in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva’.
At the film’s trailer launch event here, Kapoor said he lacks “angst” as an actor and Malhotra had to work extra hard in tapping that side of his personality.
Once, Ranbir said, “It was very hard for me (to do this film). Karan held my hand. One thing I lack as an actor is angst. I am not an angry person. I am a fun-loving, happy and detached guy”.
Ranbir Kapoor credited Malhotra, the director of Agneepath (2012) and Brothers (2015), for forging a great creative partnership with him.
