Producer Shelves Movie, Pleads To Stop Threatening & Abusing

Ever since the movie on the life of the King of Mysore, Tipu Sultan was announced, the director and the producer of the movie are facing constant threats from all over.

Today, the producer Sandeep Singh released a statement making an announcement of shelving the movie, Hazrat Tipu Sultan.

He announced, ‘The film on Hazrat Tipu Sultan will not be made. I kindly request my fellow brothers and sisters to refrain from threatening or abusing my family, friends, and me. I sincerely apologize if I have unintentionally hurt anyone’s religious sentiments. It was never my intention to do so, as I firmly believe in respecting all beliefs. As Indians, let us forever unite and always give respect to one another! Love, Sandeep Singh

Earlier when Sandeep announced the film on Tipu Sultan, he issued a statement that read, ‘This is the cinema I personally believe in. My films stand for truth… I was brainwashed into believing him to be a braveheart as shown in our history textbooks. But nobody knows his malevolent side. I want to expose his dark side for the future generation.’

The director Pawan Sharma who was supposed to direct the film has said, ‘What we are taught in school about Tipu Sultan is gross misinformation. I stood absolutely shaken and disillusioned to know his reality as a bigoted king. Through my film, I am daring to show a brutal reality that has been manipulated just for us to take him to be a warrior hero.’
