The Telangana Minister condemned BJP for not sparing even movies from being used as tools to further its agenda.
Hyderabad: Telangana Minister for IT, Urban Development, Industry and Commerce KT Rama Rao slams BJP for exploiting movies to appeal to India’s youth and to blend nationalism and communalism.
In an interview with TV5 news, the Telangana Minister condemned BJP for not sparing even movies from being used as tools to further its agenda. He cited, Vicky Kaushal film Uri, Vivek Agnihotri’s recent release The Kashmir Files, and the upcoming Prabhas film Adipurush to support his thoughts.
Video of Minister’s interview in which he makes these remarks was shared by Naveena Ghanate on her twitter handle:
Based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley, Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files was accused of being very divisive and videos emerged of hate speeches directed at Muslims in movie theatres throughout the city.
Much-hyped Prabhas starrer Adipurush, a retelling of the epic Ramayana, is slated to release on January 12 next year, ahead of Republic Day. The moviemakers have been accused of playing to the tune of the ruling BJP party.
