Disheartening! Haraamkhor Film-makers Receive Death Threats

It looks like Anurag Kashyap's upcoming controversial movie 'Haraamkhor' has not been liked by the moral police as the film-makers have been receiving death threats through emails from various activists who claim to be self authorized moral police. The name of the movie sounds harsh and the story shows Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a school teacher having a love affair with his girl student.

Talking about the threats, co-producer Guneet Monga said, "As a creative person in the film industry, it's disheartening to see people make judgments of films, actors and content without actually having seen it themselves. Getting such messages and emails from random self authorized moral police really needs to stop but I guess people will do what they have to do."

He further commented, "We have got our judgment and the film will release. We will keep an action prepared in case if there's any intentional harm being caused to our film, however currently we don't wish to dig in further and give such individuals and groups more reason to be unreasonable."

Haraamkhor was first banned by the CBFC for its controversial content and the film-makers appealed to the FCAT (Film Certification Appellate Tribunal) and won the case. The film is all set to be released on 13th January 2017.
