He got thrashed by the people on the social media:
Earlier, The makers of P.O.W Bandi Yuddh Ke unveiled the look of the show in a grand press conference in the city. Nikhil Advani’s Indian version of the acclaimed series Hatufim stars Purab Kohli and Satyadeep Mishra. The show will start from Diwali on Star Plus. Given the current political scenario in the country, the series seems to be made for the situation. The question of whether Pakistani artistes should be allowed to work in India also cropped up. When filmmaker Nikhil Advani was asked if the show cashes in on the situation he said, “Our show was decided two years earlier. What is happening now is uncanny and unfortunate. It is very sad. We want this hostility to end. Maybe you can ask our writers if they had foreseen this situation (jokes).”
When BollywoodLife asked him if he felt any sympathy for makers like Karan Johar whose films were stuck due to this fiasco and the political pressure to ban Pakistani artistes, he said,” I knew I would face this question. I have come prepared with my answer. Karan is a great friend and mentor. However, I feel people should reflect on what Akshay Kumar tweeted two days back. He said people should first know the names of the 19 soldiers who died in the attack before talking about the ban.” In fact, Nikhil also showed us a piece of paper where he wrote all the names. He accepted that it was bad that he did not know the names but found them out. (ALSO READ: Ajay Devgn reacts to ban on Pakistani actors, says country comes before money)
Actor Manish Chaudhari who plays a national security head in the show opined that the decision to ban Pakistani artistes should be solely left to the armed forces of India. He stated that the average Indian was too far from the actual scenario to make a real judgement. Actress Amrita Puri who plays the role of Harleen Kaur on the show refused to comment. She enacts the role of a woman whose husband is in the Sikh regiment. He goes missing in the war and returns after 17 years. Nikhil Advani spent two years working on this ambitious project and hopes that it appeals to the Indian audiences. The show aims to bring forth a true sense of patriotism.
