Angad Bedi, who plays Janhvi Kapoor's brother in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, has taken a stand against the backlash his film has been receiving every since the trailer released. The trolls and negative comments for the trailer are coming amid the ongoing insider vs outsider debate.
In an interview with a leading daily, Angad commented on the backlash, and said, “It’s my film, too. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but people are spitting fire against one another. The flak [that the film is receiving] is unfair. Every industry is competitive.”
Angad, citing his own example, continued, “I have auditioned for over 300 movies, and every rejection has been a learning experience. My role in Soorma led me to this film. I had gone to meet Shashank [Khaitan], who, in turn, made me meet Sharan (Sharma). After I tested for the role, Sharan told Karan [Johar] he wanted me for the part. There are lakhs of people in the industry, so it’s only fair that we all get a chance. Actors are like any other professional who work for a pay cheque.”
Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl also stars Janhvi, Angad, Viineet Kumar and Manav Vij. It is directed by Sharan Sharma who is making his directorial debut with it. Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl is produced by Karan Johar under his production banner Dharma Productions. The film is gearing up for a direct-to-web release. It will premiere on Netflix on August 12, 2020.
