‘Perceptions based on the trailer’

Singer and actor Guru Randhawa, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie Shahkot, has addressed the controversy surrounding protestors burning the film’s posters due to concerns that it supports Pakistan. He expressed that the public’s perceptions are largely based on their initial reactions to the trailer, emphasising the importance of understanding the film’s true narrative before jumping to conclusions.

Recently, the Shiv Sena Punjab had organised a protest against the release of the film Shahkot. During the demonstration, the protesters had burned posters of the film, and chanted slogans against Pakistan.

Reacting to the same, Guru, who was present in Delhifor the promotions of the film, said, “Jab tak aap mujhse mile nahi ho as an artiste aap kuch bhi perception bana sakte ho. Jo log iska virodh kar rahe hain unko lag raha hai ki ye film ek alag direction me ja rahi hai.” (Unless you meet me as an artiste you can create any perception about me. Those who are opposing it feel that this film is going in a different direction.)
