Bollywood director Anubhav Sinha says he’s angry at anyone who has not spoken out.
The violence and the political storm raging around it has posed a dilemma for a film industry that is dominated by Muslim actors, directors and crew but caters for India’s broader, predominantly Hindu population. “These three actors and their fan following is something else. One word from them can influence millions,” added Sinha, who directed Shah Rukh Khan in the 2011 film “Ra One”.
“In America, Trump cannot use the government machinery to go after actors who disagree with him, but here, that fear is very much there,” film critic and journalist Rajeev Masand told Reuters.
