Swara Bhasker, who recently registered her marriage with Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Ahmad, slammed filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri for name-calling and accusing Muslim citizens on public platforms.

It all started with a tiff between The Kashmir Files director and journalist Mohammed Zubair on Twitter. Zubair recently fact-checked the filmmaker’s claim about winning the Dadasaheb Phalke award. Agnihotri won an award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Awards and shared the news on social media. Journalist Zubair claimed that The Kashmir Files had not won the real Dadasaheb Phalke award but another one which sounds like it.

Following this, the filmmaker slammed Zubair in a tweet and said fact-checking is the biggest extortion mafia today which is controlled by a crazy, lunatic terror organisation.

Zubair then shared screenshots of the award and confusion to which Agnihotri replied that he doesn’t hate fact-checkers but when puncture repairers pretend to be fact-checkers. He further calls the journalist a ‘jehadi pimp’ of India’s enemies.

The journalist further continued bashing the filmmaker and said words like jihadi and puncture wala against Muslims were earlier used by faceless Right Wing trolls.

Now, Swara Bhasker slammed Vivek Agnihotri for name-calling Muslims publically. In a tweet, she wrote Vivek Agnihotri name-calling, swearing at, and accusing Muslim citizens on public platforms simply because they are Muslim is a glaring example of how vile, poisoned, bigoted, and majoritarian the public discourse has become in New India.

Have a look at the tweet here:

Swara Bhasker recently got married to Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Ahmad under the Special Marriage Act.

The trailer of Rani Mukherjee starrer Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway was released on Thursday and took the internet by an emotional storm.

Directed by Ashima Chibber, Mukherjee is playing the role of a Bengali mother who, all alone, fights the Norwegian government to get her children back. The trailer itself got the actor compliments for her acting prowess and heart-wrenching portrayal of a desperate mother.

Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway is inspired by true events

The film is inspired by the story of an Indian couple, Sagaraika and Anurup Bhattacharya who moved to Norway in 2007. Everything was fine until one day in May 2011, when the Norwegian authorities took away custody of their children: three-year-old son Avigyan and one-year-old daughter Aishwarya.

The authorities claimed Sagarika was mentally unfit to take care of the children and highlighted the basic Indian culture as ‘issues’.

The government said that feeding by hand was said to be force-feeding, sleeping of the parents and kids in the same bed was unnatural and claimed the kids were made to wear ‘unsuitable’ clothes and put ‘kala teekas’.

The case was a result of the ignorance of the Norwegian authorities of the deep-rooted Indian way of bringing up children.

After a court hearing, the Norway government decided to put the children in legal custody until they turn 18 as their mother lacked structure and discipline and was unable to provide a daily routine for herself or her children.

The parents had to engage in a long tedious legal battle for two years before they could finally reunite with their own children.

The couple had to involve the Indian government in this case which led to a diplomatic row between both governments. The legal battle also affected their marriage and the couple got separated before the case could be resolved.

The Norwegian authorities finally decided to give custody of the children to Anurup’s brother in Calcutta. Sagarika could not stop there, later she went and filed a petition with Calcutta’s Burdwan Child Welfare Committee to have the children’s full custody saying that her in-laws were not taking good care of the children and had not been letting her meet them.

She got full custody of her children in 2013 when CWS claimed she was psychologically fit to take care of and raise the kids.

The frightful story of the Bhattacharyas will be depicted on the silver screen by Ashima Chibber. The film also features Jim Sarbh and Neena Gupta in key roles and is set to release on March 17.

Kantara, the Kannada film became one of the biggest films of 2022. Helmed by Rishab Shetty, the film received endless love globally and became the second highest-grossing Kannada film of all time.

As Kantara completed 100 days in theatres in January, the cast and crew came together for a celebration. At the event, Homabale Films founder Vijay Kiragandur announced its sequel Kantara 2.

The actor-director-writer of the film Rishab Shetty also announced that the film will actually be a prequel and that what we had seen was part 2 of the story.

Since the announcement, fans have been speculating about the cast but there has been no official news yet. A few days ago, Urvashi Rautela shared a picture on Instagram with Rishab Shetty tagging ‘Homabale Productions’ following which internet users started to speculate if she is a part of the next film.

Now, Rishab Shetty has finally opened up about it during the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Awards and refuted the speculations and said fans are wrongly connecting the film with a selfie. He also informed that he is still writing the script and upon its completion, an official announcement will be made.

As soon as the video went viral, users started commenting on how relieved they were that Rautela would not be a part of the film.

Of late, Rautela is being slammed on social media in connection with the Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant who met with a severe accident last year. Fans are unhappy with the actor and accused her of harassing the cricketer continuously.

Meanwhile, Kantara’s cast also included Kishore, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda and Pramod Shetty. The film earned more than Rs 450 crore at the box office.

Kantara 2 is set to release next year. Set in Keradi in coastal Karnataka, the film revolves around the Bhoota Kola practice.
