Bollywood’s latest anti-Pakistan propaganda film Dharindar has triggered strong backlash after its trailer release, with much of the criticism coming from Indian social media users.
The trailer portrays Karachi’s Lyari as a war zone, showing Ranveer Singh as a RAW agent entering “hostile” Pakistani territory, while Arjun Rampal appears as a Pakistani intelligence officer.
Observers in Pakistan note that India’s anti-Pakistan narrative appears to be intensifying, particularly with Bollywood casting Sanjay Dutt as the late SSP Chaudhry Aslam and Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait, choices widely mocked online.
