Vivek Agnihotri criticises makers of ‘Dahaad’ for its stereotypical representation of Rajasthani characters

Vivek Agnihotri, a filmmaker, is known for voicing his views on social media. The director today resorted to Twitter to take a jab at Sonakshi Sinha’s newly released web series ‘Dahaad’. He chastised the creators for not conducting adequate research and stereotypical representation of Rajasthani characters.

He wrote, ”
1. Bollywood actors think that by saying हुक़ुम… म्हारो… थारो… they can become Rajasthani characters. Rest of the dialogues they can speak in their Punjabi, Bambaiya, Tamil, Kannada accent.
2. To be a cop you just need to wear tight fitting khaki clothes. With tons of makeup.
3. They think by doing dull and boring acting, speaking dialogues so softly so no one can understand is good, cool acting.
4. If you make ultra modern looking, fair and lovely, urban actors utter few Rajasthani words and abuse unnecessarily, the audience is so stupid that they will believe that these actors are indeed Rajasthani.
5. In the scorching heat of Rajasthan, you just can’t carry so many layers of make up.
6. Pl stop fitting your Western Movies inspirations in Rajasthan.
7. Audience is not dumb. You are. Now repeat this million times.

Vivek Agnihotri was recently in the news for sending a legal notice to Mamata Banerjee, after she called for a press conference and put a ban on the recently released controversial film ‘The Kerala Story’, and also raised questions regarding ‘The Kashmir Files’.
