coffee_rules Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Article 15 the perps were all yadavs in the real story. Anubhav Sinha made them as Brahmins in the movie as they are soft targets. Same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trichromatic Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 FALSE CLAIM Alt News contacted Newslaundry co-founder Abhinandan Sekhri who attended the screening of Chhapaak in Delhi. “I watched the special screening of the movie which was organised for acid attack survivors, and the claim on social media that the accused is portrayed as belonging to the Hindu community is false. The person who is convicted is presented as belonging to the Muslim community, and so are his relatives, with one of them shown in a Burkha,” he said. Sekhri also called-out Swarajya’s erroneous report on Twitter. Abhinandan Sekhri ✔@AbhinandanSekhr Shocking (or maybe not) that such demonstrable misinformation is carried. I watched the screening last night & can tell you with certainty the religion of attacker has not changed. Film has remained accurate to the case. Opinidia ko bachane ke chakkar mein khud Opindia ban gaye.. https://twitter.com/SwarajyaMag/status/1214871873055363073 … 4,033 17:17 - 8 Jan 2020 Twitter Ads information and privacy 1,913 people are talking about this According to PTI journalist Radhika Sharma’s report, “In the Meghna Gulzar directed film, there is no mention of any Nadeem or Naeem Khan. Moreover, Rajesh is the name of Malti’s boyfriend.” Radhika Sharma@KhayalaBibi #Chhapaak trends on Twitter - and no its screen villain is neither 'Nadeem' nor 'Rajesh'. Unlike the #FakeNews peddlers, I was fortunate to watch a special screening of the film last evening. Here goes, my report for @PTI_News. https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/hindi/2020/jan/08/chhapaak-trends-on-twitter---and-no-its-screen-villain-is-neither-nadeem-nor-rajesh-2086833.html … 'Chhapaak' trends on Twitter - and no its screen villain is neither 'Nadeem' nor 'Rajesh' In what could well be a storm in a 'Twitter cup', 'Nadeem Khan' and 'Rajesh' began trending on the microblogging site after a magazine article claimed the name of the antagonist had been changed. newindianexpress.com 15 17:46 - 8 Jan 2020 Twitter Ads information and privacy See Radhika Sharma's other Tweets “The screening was organised by NCW. The person convicted for the acid attack is known as Bashir Khan urf Babboo in the film, whereas Rajesh is the name of the boyfriend of the acid attack survivor, Malti,” Sharma informed Alt News. The journalist covered the movie’s screening for PTI. A Times Now broadcast also debunked the false claim. AN ORGANISED ATTEMPT The usual suspects Prashant Patel Umrao, Shefali Vaidya, author Ravi Rai, Anuj Bajpai and @Nationalist_Om suggested that the Muslim identity of Laxmi Aggarwal’s perpetrator has been whitewashed in ‘Chhapaak’. Sonam Mahajan whose tweet drew over 7,000 retweets at the time of writing this article wrote, “If crime has no religion, then why does Bollywood feel the need to change the religion of perpetrators even in biopics?” Mahajan was one of the earliest to float the false claim. Rohit Jaiswal who identifies himself as a ‘film critic’ questioned, “If Acid attacker name was Naeem Khan then the same name should have been used in film as well… Ye Rajesh kya hai??” One Monica (@TrulyMonica), who terms herself an ‘ex-journalist’ on Twitter, also circulated the false claim. Vikas Pandey (@MODIfiedvikas) tweeted “I knew this” and claimed that the attacker’s name was changed to ‘Rajesh’. He later took down the tweet. It is noteworthy Swarjaya later updated its report with the correct information, although clarification on its tweet – “The main accused in Lakshmi’s acid case was Naeem Khan but he is said to have been named “Rajesh” in Deepika’s movie” – is yet to be provided. Furthermore, Free Press Journal carried a misleading report titled, “#NameItLikeBollywood trends after Deepika’s ‘Chhapaak’ ‘changes’ acid attacker’s name from Nadeem Khan to Rajesh”. The article clarifies the misinformation only in the concluding paragraph. ‘Chhapaak’ is set to release on January 10, 2020, and the claim that movie whitewashes the Muslim identity of the attacker who threw acid on Laxmi Aggarwal, by portraying him as a Hindu, was found to be false.

Mariyam Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Terrible from Shefali Vaidya. Peddling lies and trying to rally people to boycott the film. Just because Deepika has an opinion which doesn't match her own. Edited January 11, 2020 by Mariyam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the possible intention to have people boycott the movie. She could just have started a #letsboycottDeepikaPmovies campaign. How dare she stand in protest. But no, Shefali Vaidya chose to concoct a farcical story about how the movie has misrepresented the perpetrator. manu4411 and Stradlater 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not seen the movie (not going to as well), but why change the name in any case? From Nadeem Khan to a neutral Babboo bhaiyya? At least make it Babboo Miyan, to be clear. Anyhow, trolling is multi-lane street on Twitter. raki05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
