Sudipto Sen's directorial 바카라˜The Kerala Story바카라™, despite faring well at the box office, has become a topic of debate. While there are certain states who are running the film tax-free, others have imposed a ban on the same. 

After Anurag Kashyap shared his support for the film, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui revealed his views too. He mentioned that if a movie is 바카라˜hurting someone, then it is wrong. For the unversed, Adah Sharma바카라™s 바카라˜The Kerala Story바카라™ talks about the issue of love jihad, conversions and indoctrination.

Earlier this month, Kashyap had tweeted, 바카라œYou agree with the film or not, be it propaganda, counter-propaganda, offensive or not, to ban it is just wrong.바카라 To which Nawazuddin, while speaking to News 18 said that 바카라œIf a novel or a film is hurting someone, then that is wrong.바카라 The actor added, 바카라œWe don바카라™t make films to hurt the audience or their sentiments.바카라 He also maintained that films should foster social harmony and love among people. 

However, his words did not go down well among the netizens on social media. So now the actor, whose film 바카라˜Jogira Sa Ra Ra Ra바카라™ was released in theatres today, May 26, issued a clarification on Twitter and lashed out at those who are spreading fake news. 

바카라œPlease stop spreading false news just to get some views and hits, it바카라™s called cheap TRP - I never said and I would never want any film to be banned ever. STOP BANNING FILMS. STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS !!! (sic)바카라 he wrote.

During an interaction with News18, the actor had said, 바카라œHumein iss dunia ko jodna hai todna nahin (we have to unite this world not divide it),바카라 the actor asserted, adding that nothing in the world deserves to be banned.

For those unaware, 바카라˜The Kerala Story바카라™ is based on the forced religious conversion of Indian women by ISIS. The film has earned over Rs 200 crore.
