News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 26th October 2024
After a resurfaced interview exposed her alarming statement, actress Sai Pallavi, who will play Sita in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, is receiving a lot of negative feedback on social media. An old video of her interview went viral online and is now making the rounds on social media. She appeared to oppose violence in the video and compare the Indian Army to a “terrorist group” in Pakistan.
”People in Pakistan think our army is a terrorist group. But for us it is them. So, the perspective changes. I don’t understand violence”. Even though this interview is almost two years old, it has sparked a heated discussion on social media, with the majority of internet users criticizing her for being “insensitive” and voicing concerns about how she will play Sita in the upcoming movie Ramayana.
Responding to the video, one user commented, ”Pakistani army is terrorist even for their own citizens… People like Sai Pallavi either fell in propaganda trap or they themselves are Propaganda..”. Another user wrote, ‘Indian Army is Violence for you #SaiPallavi ?!?!!! The reason you and I are moving Freely and Safely in Our Country is due @BSF_India”. One another user wrote, ”Exactly!! So Dumb, Stupid and reckless statements from a Medical University student? Is she transferring into a radical? Time will tell.”
”Comparing the Indian Army in this way is extremely wrong and condemnable. Our soldiers risk their lives to protect the country, and their disrespect cannot be tolerated in any way”, the tweet read.
A noteworthy actor collaboration may be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming film, Ramayana. Ranbir Kapoor will portray the role of Lord Rama. Yash, renowned for his role in KGF, will play Ravana, and Sunny Deol will play Lord Hanuman. In the movie, actress Sai Pallavi also makes her much-anticipated Bollywood debut.
In addition, Rajkumar Periasamy is directing Sai Pallavi’s Tamil film Amaran, which she is preparing for release. ‘India’s Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military’, written by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, was adapted into a movie by Kamal Haasan. The film, in which Sivakarthikeyan plays the lead, is scheduled to debut in theaters on October 31, 2024.
