Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhary slams upcoming flick Panipat

Islamabad: Slamming upcoming Bollywood movie “Panipat”, Pakistan’s Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhary on Wednesday said that the movie has distorted historical facts to portray Ahmad Shah Abdali as a “cruel” Muslim ruler. Ashutosh Gowarikar’s “Panipat” revolves around the third battle of Panipat that took place between the Afghans and the Marathas. The film features Arjun Kapoor as Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau and Sanjay Dutt as Afghan emperor Ahmad Shah Abdali. “What else can you expect when stupid people try to rewrite history on RSS ideology. Let’s see, what happens next!” Chaudhary tweeted. Afghan embassy has also raised its concern over Ahmad Shah Abdali’s portrayal in the film. After Dutt released the movie’s poster on November 4, former Afghanistan Ambassador to India Shaida Abdali also expressed worries about the film. (IANS)
