Richa Chadha is not amused with Nawazuddin Siddiqui for doing ‘Thackeray’ bipoic

There are very few Bollywood actors, who speak their mind irrespective of consequences. Hindi film industry has time and again been accused of never taking a stand and always bowing down to pressure. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, without a doubt, is this generation’s finest and most accomplished actor.

The ‘Raees’ actor is doing a biopic on Shiv Sena supremo and founder late Bal Thackeray. The biopic has been titled as ‘Thackeray’ and its trailer was released just a couple of days back. Now, actress Richa Chadha has taken a sly dig at Nawaz for doing this biopic and wrote a cryptic message.

Read the tweet:

अरे ई हमरा फैजल तो बाईपोलर निकला बे !

Nawazuddin had earlier portrayed the character of Saadat Hasan Manto in Nandita Das’ biopic ‘Manto’. The two characters are totally different and Richa (it seems) is not happy with Nawaz portraying Bal Thackeray’s character.

Southern star Siddharth also made his displeasure quite clear with this tweet.

Nawazuddin has repeated ‘Uthao lungi bajao pungi’ (lift the lungi and *’#$ him) in the film #Thackeray. Clearly hate speech against South Indians… In a film glorifying the person who said it! Are you planning to make money out of this propaganda? Stop selling hate! Scary stuff!

Poetic justice is when a Muslim actor from UP gets to play the part of the revered Marathi bigot in a propaganda film.

Bal Thackeray, during his lifetime, has been reported by political commentators as a divisive and polarizing figure. ‘Thackeray’ is being directed by Abhijit Panse and is slated to release in January 2019.
