Farhan Akhtar-starrer upcoming film 'Toofan' has once again landed into controversy. A few days ago, demands were raised to boycott the film because of the actor's old comments on Citizenship Amendment Act.
This time, the film, directed by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra, has been called to boycott because it apparently shows interfaith marriage. The character Aziz Ali, played by Akhtar, reportedly falls in love with Pooja Shah, played by Mrunal Thakur. The film also stars veteran actor Paresh Rawal as Ali's coach. The film will be out on Amazon Prime Video on July 16.
A section of netizens are saying that the film must be boycotted because it promotes 'love jihad'.
