Filmmaker
Rumy
Jafry
whose
latest
directorial
Chehre
featuring
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Emraan
Hashmi
in
the
lead
roles
arrived
in
theatres
today,
spoke
about
the
controversies
surrounding
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty,
who
is
also
a
part
of
the
film.
Rumy
who
has
always
supported
Rhea,
said
that
the
film
was
made
before
she
got
embroiled
into
controversies
hence,
it
will
not
be
affected
by
her
presence
in
the
film.
While
speaking
to
IANS,
Rumy
said
that
Rhea
plays
a
very
important
role
in
Chehre
and
she
has
done
a
very
good
job
in
the
film.
"Our
film
was
made
way
before
all
this
controversy
happened.
The
film
would
have
released
in
April
last
year
had
the
pandemic
not
started.
I
don't
feel
our
film
will
have
any
added
benefit
or
suffer
a
loss
due
to
her
presence," said
the
filmmaker.
In
the
same
interview,
Rumy
also
said
that
people's
mindset
towards
Rhea
is
changing,
as
she
is
not
being
trolled
constantly
on
social
media.
"I
think
people's
mindset
is
gradually
changing.
You
can
see
Rhea
is
not
being
so
heavily
trolled
on
social
media
these
days
like
she
used
to
be
last
year,"
said
Rumy.
Speaking
about
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sudden
demise,
Rumy
said,
"Sushant's
death
was
extremely
sad
but
whatever
happened
across
the
country
surrounding
Rhea
and
her
family,
that's
also
very
sad.
Let
the
court
decide
who
is
guilty
and
who
is
not.
Last
year
Rhea
was
called
names
like
'witch' and
'gold-digger'
but
the
situation
has
changed
in
one
year."
He
concluded
by
saying
that
he
has
tried
to
something
different
with
Chehre.
