Akshay apologises to Sikhs - Akshay Kumar’s latest film Singh is King is wading through troubled waters as the Sikh community hold their objections to Akshay’s looks in the film.
Producer Vipul Shah held a press conference to clear the air of controversy surrounding the film which he says has no intentions of offending any person or community.
“If I’ve made a mistake, lord forgive me and I will try to rectify my mistake,” says an apologetic Akshay.
The objection was towards Akshay’s look and some scenes in the film. He flew down from South Africa to re-shoot some parts of the film and attended a press conference on Friday evening in Mumbai to clear the air.
“We wanted to make sure that the community is happy with the film, that is why we went up to them and showed the film to them. There are some changes they expected us to make and we have done that,” says filmmaker Vipul.
“Lot of changes are done but thing which have been already shot cannot reset again,” explains Akshay.
While members of the community who have been authorized by the censor board to view the film have finally given it a thumbs up though they feel the damage is done.
“At least in the future, whosoever wants to portray Sikhs or Punjabis in their films should be sensitive towards the community and come to us before hand, after damaging it’s only damage control that can be done,” says Sardar Manmohan Singh of Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Dadar.
