Anupam Kher opens up on row with Hansal Mehta over Manmohan Singh film: He can’t abandon a sinking ship

Veteran actor Anupam Kher, who was last seen in the streaming movie Vijay 69, has made a scathing attack on filmmaker Hansal Mehta, who is known for the National Award-winning film Shahid.

Hansal recently seconded an opinion of a journalist when the latter said that former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's biopic The Accidental Prime Minister starring Anupam Kher is one of the worst movies in Hindi cinema. This left Anupam angry as he revealed that Hansal’s agreement to the journalist’s opinion reeks of hypocrisy as he was the one who served as the creative director on the biopic.

He wrote, "The HYPOCRITE in this thread is NOT @virsanghvi . He has the freedom to not like a film. But @mehtahansal was the Creative Director of The Accidental PrimeMinister. Who was present at the entire shoot of the film in England! Giving his creative inputs and must have taken the fee also for it. So for him to say 100% to Vir Sanghvi’s comment is so messed up and full of double standards."
