The filmmaker's reaction comes days after the stars from the film industry lashed out over the attack on the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi on Sunday. Taapsee Pannu, Sonam K Ahuja, Richa Chadha, Konkona Sensharma were among the others who expressed their anger and fury after 50-odd masked goons attacked the students and wreaked havoc at the campus.

The JNU students who were earlier protesting at the HRD Ministry near Shastri Bhavan tried to move towards the Rashtrapati Bhavan because of which they were stopped by the police which had to resort to a minor lathi charge.
