Wed 09 December 2020:
The Air Force today demanded “withdrawal” of a few scenes from a soon-to-be released Netflix movie – “AK vs AK” – after a teaser was shared on Twitter by Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor.
“The IAF uniform in this video is inaccurately donned & the language used is inappropriate (sic),” the Indian Air Force tweeted.
The post further read: “This does not conform to the behavioural norms of those in the Armed Forces of India. The related scenes need to be withdrawn. @NetflixIndia @anuragkashyap72.” Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and Netflix India were tagged in the tweet.
Mr Kapoor later apologised on Twitter.
“It has come to my attention that the trailer of my new film “AK vs AK” has offended some people. As I am wearing the Indian Air Force Uniform while using unparliamentary language, I would like to sincerely offer my humble apologies for unintentionally hurting sentiments,” he said in a video message.
“AK vs AK” is a Vikramaditya Motwane movie, starring Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor, “as themselves”. It will be released on December 24.
