Rishi Kapoor has never shied away in pouring out his opinions – be it is on controversial subjects or his son Ranbir Kapoor’s personal life. Now, through his film Mulk, he wants to challenge the old and misguided belief that of all Muslims being treated as terrorists.
In an interview with Mid-Day, the actor said, “There is a general belief that every terrorist is a Muslim. But one has to understand that not all Muslims are terrorists. With Mulk, we are trying to challenge that misguided belief.”
“Muslims are looked upon with a suspicious eye, all over the world. Our film is based on a Muslim family, but it can be true for any community. It’s a human saga that is throwing light on the happenings in our society,” added Rishi Kapoor.
The 102 Not Out actor made a valid point saying that the whole world is progressing and we are still being regressive in terms of solving our communal tensions. He said, “Mulk is a film that needs to be seen. The film shows people’s attitude towards each other in society. After all, a country is made by the people living in it. So essentially, we are responsible for what happens here. Lynching has become common these days. The world is progressing, and we are still fighting over communal issues.”
He also told the leading tabloid that he wishes to go to his ancestral home in Peshawar, Pakistan. “I have been fortunate enough to visit Pakistan [he shot Heena there in 1990], but I would love to go there again. It’s been 70 years and we are still fighting over Kashmir. Pakistan should realise India will never give Kashmir to them,” said the actor.
Mulk revolves around the struggles of a Muslim joint family from a small town in India, who fight to reclaim their honour after a member of their family takes to terrorism.
The film is all set to hit the theatres on August 3, 2018. It also stars Taapsee Pannu, Prateik Babbar, Neena Gupta, Rajat Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa and Ashutosh Rana in the pivotal roles.
