Recently, the film’s screenwriter Atul Kulkarni took to his Twitter handle to share a cryptic post with his followers about people celebrating destruction.
Check out the tweet here:
He wrote, ‘When destruction is celebrated as if it were a spectacle, the harsh truths are reduced to debris. #global phenomenon’. While Atul did not specify what the tweet was about, his followers speculated he was referring to the film’s box office failure, which has been celebrated by those who had called for its boycott. The ace actor-turned-screenwriter even turned off replies for the tweet.
However, many users quote tweeted Atul’s post in response. One wrote, ‘I can understand why Atul has limited the comments to his tweets. It is a dark world out there that celebrates another person’s failure. Rational thinking is lost and its time to introspect. Really unfortunate! (sic)’ Another one added, ‘This phase will too pass… take it in your stride.’
