Indians are generally known for their love for films, and its popularity goes up to the politicians, who often express their opinions on films. Be it Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s occasional reviews, Raj Thackeray expressing support for a film, Shiv Sena making a film on founder Bal Thackeray or some of them making an appearance at a screening, politicians often contribute to the buzz of a film. One such latest incident was when Abhishek Manu Singhvi hailed Kangana Ranaut playing an Indian Air Force pilot in Tejas.
The Congress leader took to Twitter to share that Kangana taking up the role of an IAF pilot was ‘all the more reason to cheer’ and embrace the ‘evolution of Bollywood.’
The veteran credited the intention of the makers, stating that such movies serve as an ‘inspiration for the aspirational classes’ to take up careers ‘normally considered outside the cultural domain.’
Here’s the post:
