Naseem Mughal talks about calling ‘Dhurandhar’ film ‘propaganda’
In an interview with Filmygyan, Naseem Mughal expressed, “Dhruv ke kehne se woh Propaganda hoti hai toh ho. Propaganda agar kisiko kehna hai film ke baare mein toh kaho. Aapko jo kehna hai aap kaho. Lekin aap toofan ko toh rok nahi sakte, toofan toh chal hi raha hai. (If This was propaganda, according to Dhruv, so be it.
If someone wants to call a film propaganda, they are free to do so, say what they want. But you can’t stop the storm; The storm is already moving.)
“
