Oh, people! Please grow up! Imtiaz Ali is being a target for a lot of hate on Twitter for the past few hours. The reason? He just announced the most ambitious film from his production house. On the occasion of Janmashtami, Imtiaz Ali revealed that he is going to make a film on the eternal love story between Lord Krishna and Radha. It will be a grand project and will involve extensive research on the mythology. The movie will be written and directed by the Rockstar film-maker.
Talking more about the film, Imtiaz said, “I have always been fascinated by the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna. In all of the Indian folklore, I know of no other story, which is so intensely personal and yet has such an epic scale. It has been my dream to step into the world of Radha Krishna.” Ali is currently promoting his production, Laila Majnu, that is directed by his brother Sajid Ali.
However, some vicious trolls are pouring hate on him on Twitter for this announcement. They are annoyed by the fact that a 'Muslim' director is making a film on Hindu Gods. Check out some of the hate spewing tweets below -
No one is allowed to even draw a cartoon on Prophet Mo but Bollywood Haramis make films on hindu gods and goddesses and dhimmi Hindus will watch it ... https://t.co/XpsLk0p9Fp

If he really wants to make a authentic Radha-Krishna movie (which he does not) he will have to take a 9 year old Boy and a sixteen year old girl who was a yogini of the highest order and a spiritual guru to Krishna. Imtiaz Ali wont know the head or tale of it. https://t.co/giKBV4NRx9

If this is what Imtiaz Ali is facing for his announcement, we wonder what will happen when Aamir Khan finally confirms he is making the Mahabharat trilogy, with him playing Lord Krishna. Or is it Arjuna?
