Annu Kapoor Criticises ‘Chak De! India’ Makers, Reveals Priyanka Chopra’s Refusal To Kiss Him in ‘7 Khoon Maaf’
Veteran actor Annu Kapoor recently sparked controversy with his comments on ‘Chak De! India’, questioning the decision to depict Shah Rukh Khan’s character, Kabir Khan, as a Muslim coach leading a Hindu team. Kapoor claimed that the character, based on real-life coach Mir Ranjan Negi, was changed to highlight ‘Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb’, a term symbolising Hindu-Muslim unity, which he felt was used to shape a particular narrative in Indian cinema. Kapoor’s remarks arrived just after he alleged that Priyanka Chopra had refused a kissing scene with him in ‘7 Khoon Maaf’, and she wouldn’t have had any issues if he was a typical hero.
