Further, when the question was repeated that it’s the portrayal that’s problematic, Rohit Shetty said that he doesn’t think so. If there is a terrorist who is from Pakistan, what caste will he be? asked the director. He further added that they are not talking about the caste. And, it changed his point of view of a few journalists whom he used to like. That oh, they are portraying it like he has seen in brackets somebody writing bad Muslims being preached by upper-caste Hindus, which is very wrong. They never thought that way, concluded Rohit Shetty.
