The recently released trailer of ‘Fighter’ has created controversy and drawn criticism for its anti-Pakistan storyline.
Starring A-list stars like Deepika Padukone, Hrithik Roshan and Anil Kapoor, the trailer makes bold statements about India “owning” Kashmir and alludes to the idea of an “India-occupied Pakistan” should there be a full force retaliation.
After the release of the trailer of ‘Fighter’, viewers and showbiz personalities are taking to social media to vent their anger over the anti-Pakistan content shown in the trailer.
They are of the opinion that art should be for art’s sake, and there is no room for its use for propaganda and distortion of facts, because entertainment crosses borders and even negates patriotism, which hurts the feelings of those who want to remain neutral when it comes. to use movies.
They don’t like Pakistan-centric content for nothing and the filmmaker’s attempt to use the entertainment platform not to entertain the audience but for ulterior purposes.

The film’s explicit stance on sensitive geopolitical issues led to dissatisfaction among viewers, sparked debate on social media and prompted individuals, including make-up artist Natasha Ali Lakhani, to voice their concerns.
In a post featuring a carousel of images, Lakhani included a photo of herself with Hrithik Roshan along with images depicting the fighting in Kashmir and the film’s trailer.
“This is a picture from my last trip to India,” the makeup guru began, “back in the good old days when we went to the premiere of my Sonya Baja’s movie, Taj Mahal.
Sanjay Khan was the director and we were invited to Zayed Khan’s wedding party while we were there. Hrithik was such a superstar at that time but when I saw him with his family/friends he was so down to earth and humble and I remember how sweet he was with his pregnant wife at that time.”
Many on X pointed out the trailer’s glaring flaws and shortcomings. “India’s propaganda machine is different because it is not some obscure event from the 1950s.
It happened four years ago and resulted in one Indian aircraft being shot down by Pakistan and one Indian helicopter being shot down by India itself. What’s the point of this movie?” asked one X user.
Another said, “This is so bad even for a propaganda film. They forced a Twitter Bhakt to write the dialogues.” Another user sneered: “Pakistan occupied Kashmir, don’t make me laugh.
