The much-anticipated trailer of the Bollywood film, Fighter was released on 15 January 2024. The trailer received a positive response from the audience and fans. However, the trailer of the film was hugely criticized by some Pakistani celebrities who accused the makers and slammed the film for spreading “hate”.
For the unversed, the Bollywood film Fighter is set against the backdrop of the Indian air force retaliating against the Pakistani forces with an air strike, after a terror attack. However, following the trailer release many Hania Aamir, Adnan Siddiqui and many other Pakistani actors criticised and accused the film of “spreading hatred”.
Following the trailer release, Pakistani actress Hania Aamir took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “So sad and unfortunate to know that there are artists out there in this day and age who are aware of the power that the cinema holds and still go ahead and feed the riff between the two countries. I feel sorry for the artists who try to bridge the gap by trusting their art as a medium. Distasteful; let art breathe,”
However, her reaction was widely trolled by the netizens who slammed her for her hypocrisy and revealed that the actress has herself worked in an anti-Indian film. The tweet read, “Didn’t she literally work in a movie which was anti-India? If indian celebs have no issue with the anti-India stuff Pakistani celebs do in movies, why do Pak celebs care so much?”. Siddharth Anand also reacted to the tweet with an emoji.
Other Pakistani Celebs Who Criticised Film Fighter
Apart from Hania Aamir, actor Adnan Siddiqui who starred in the film, Mom, also accused Fighter of spreading hate. In a tweet, he wrote, “Once celebrated for love, Bollywood now crafts hate-filled narratives, portraying us as villains. Despite our love for your films, it’s disheartening. Art transcends boundaries; let’s use it to promote love and peace. Two nations, victims of politics, deserve better.”
Pakistani actress Zara Noor also took to her Instagram stories and criticized the film, she wrote, “Aren’t you guys tired of selling the same false crap?! Grow up, guys! The world is moving on and getting mature but why do you want to sell this cheap story of hatred? Could have also promoted peace. Don’t we have enough hatred in the world that you had to boost more hate through this global medium of movies?”
