Eminent Pakistani film director Syed Noor is in deep trouble these days because of some baseless rumours spread by the International media and some local groups about his upcoming movie “Aik Aur Ghazi”.
Film is in controversies these days as some rumours claim that movie’s baseline is about the true event of ex-governor Punjab Salman Taseer’s assassination happened this year in Islamabad.
The trouble doesn’t ends here and some people further reacting on this rumour have even called up a total boycott and have asked the censor board to ban the film completely in Pakistan.
However, Syed Noor has totally denied all such allegations and said, “there is no similarity between my film and Salman Taseer’s killing”, film was started two years before Salman Taseer’s murder, one should think logically, how can it be inspired by an event which took place two years after the start of the film?”
“Some people are trying to defame me and my work by creating such baseless hindrance in my way, one should also check the ground realities before spreading such out of the world clamours”, Noor said in an interview.
In an another interview at his studio he said, “My film has nothing to do with Salmaan Taseer, the villain in my film claimed he was the prophet of Islam (False Prophet), for which gets the punishment”.
On the other hand some critics believe that Noor’s upcoming movie would promote the act of extra judicial killing amongst the citizens of Pakistan, but currently no one can criticise anything about the movie without knowing the actual story of the film and its time which will tell us what the movie is all about and whether its promoting extra judicial killing or is just a normal movie.
Though the film carries the tag-line which says ” The punishment for blasphemer of Prophet(PBUH) is to behead him”, but it doesn’t mean at all that its promoting something which is bad for society, infact there could be a positive message for the society in it as well.
Apart from all that Syed Noor said, he is planning to release it within two months, basically after the “Cricket World Cup”, and he hopes that this film like other films of him will do well in cinemas.
