Oppenheimer Controversy: Nitish Bharadwaj Defends Cillian Murphy- Florence Pugh’s Sex Scene, Mahabharat Actor Says ‘This Should Be Understood From Scientist’s State of Mind’
However, Nitish Bharadwaj, who played Lord Krishna’s character in Mahabharata, has a different opinion about the controversial scene in Oppenheimer.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer sparked controversy over a scene that shows J Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy) saying a line from Bhagavad Gita while having sex with psychologist Jean Tatlock (played by Florence Pugh). Oppenheimer reads out the verse, "Now, I am become Death, destroyer of the world." Actors and politicians have reacted to the sex scene and criticised the makers for insulting the Bhagavad Gita. Now, Nitish Bharadwaj, the actor who played the Lord Krishna in Mahabharata, has reacted to the controversy and said to Hindustan Times, "When Oppenheimer created the atom bomb and it was used to kill most of Japan’s population, he was himself questioning whether he did his duty properly. His famous interview showed him in tears, which means that he probably regretted his own invention. He probably saw that his invention would destroy the human race in the future and he was probably remorseful,” he said while talking to an entertainment portal. He added, “The use of this verse in the film should also be understood from Oppenheimer’s emotional state of mind. A scientist thinks of his creation 24x7x365 days, irrespective of what he is doing. His mind space is consumed fully by his creation and the physical act is just a natural mechanical act." Oppenheimer Box Office Collection Day 4: Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr’s Film Crosses $ 200 Million Worldwide.
