Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par Trailer Release Postponed  In Respect To Operation Sindoor. London Statue Unveiling Honouring Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Postponed By Shah Rukh Khan Out Of Respect For Ongoing Operation Sindoor

The theatrical release of Bhool Chuk Maaf starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, has been cancelled after heightened security drills across India. The announcement, which was made by its makers a day ahead of the release, followed India’s Operation Sindoor targeting terror camps in Pakistan. The film will now premiere on OTT. Makers said that they had taken this decision keeping in mind nation’s priorities in mind.

The All India Cine Workers Association(AICWA) has issued a firm statement enforcing a complete ban on Pakistani artists, filmmakers, and financiers working in the Indian cinema industry. This statement came immediately after Pakistani actors Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, and Mawra Hocane, who have worked in Bollywood, criticized the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor.

AICWA strongly condemns the filmmakers, producers, and artists of the film Abir Gulal for casting Pakistani actor Fawad Khan despite the Pulwama attack, where several Indian soldiers were martyred. What message do such filmmakers want to convey? They even came to India to release this film, showing complete disregard for the nation’s sentiments. This is a disgrace to the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers.

The depiction of the Godhra incident from a secular viewpoint or in other words the victims were Muslims given shelter by a Hindu and the attackers were Hindus in L 2 Empuran seems to have caught the imagination of overseas Indian diaspora. The Film has set a benchmark for Malayalam filmdom in terms of overseas collections. This is the first film for Mollywood to cross $10Million and also 100 crore at the Overseas box office. This record also looks unbeatable and may remain untouched for long years.  The scripting of Murali Gopy combined with Prithviraj’s Direction and the ` shock marketing’ later yielded dividends overseas but not within India.

The film’s box office run was limited to Kerala and not outside. The final Indian tally shows that it has not collected enough to cover the investment from the ticket sales. On OTT too L 2 Empuran is not a great attraction. The controversial elements were later dited out by Director after a backlash on social media.
