Movie ‘Dhurandhar 2’ It has been released recently and is performing well at the box office. But because of this film there has been a lot of political stir in Uttar Pradesh. A disclaimer has been given at the beginning of the film, in which it is clearly written that this story is completely fictional. Many events, characters and dialogues are dramatized in this and should not be seen as real history or truth. The makers have said that this is fiction and has no direct connection with any person living or dead. Nevertheless, there is a character in the film ‘Atif Ahmed’, seeing whom people immediately remember Uttar Pradesh’s notorious strongman leader and mafia Atiq Ahmed.
Only a slight change has been made in the name, but an attempt has been made to show the face, look, moustache, style and behavior almost the same. Actor Salim Siddiqui has played this character very brilliantly. In the film, Atif Ahmed is shown as a gangster who enters politics and then runs his big crime empire despite being in jail. It shows arms smuggling, extortion, fake currency trade and the most controversial thing – alleged links with Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI. Besides, things like links with organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Pakistan-backed conspiracy in Uttar Pradesh have also been shown.
Who is Salim Siddiqui?
Now let’s talk about the actor who has brought this controversial character to life. Salim Siddiqui is a well-known actor. He has been working in theater and films for a long time. Even before this film, he has worked in many good projects, like:
- His role in ’12th Fail’ was highly appreciated.
- He also impressed with his acting in films like ‘India Lockdown’ and ‘Rakshabandhan’.
- People also remember his presence in the popular web series ‘Mirzapur’.
But the character of ‘Atif Ahmed’ in ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is considered to be the biggest and most popular role of his career so far. His acting and looks are being praised, but at the same time controversy has also arisen.
heat politics in up
Due to all this, politics has become heated in UP. Many political leaders have expressed objection to the film. He says that real events have been distorted in the film and an attempt is being made to create a particular narrative. Especially some leaders of Samajwadi Party (SP) have expressed strong opposition to this. Former SP MP ST Hasan said that no official evidence or disclosure of any connection of Atiq Ahmed with ISI has been made till date. In such a situation, showing this angle in the film is completely baseless and wrong.
Real character even after calling it imaginary
He alleges that nowadays some films are being made for political purposes instead of giving a good message to the society. Some other leaders have also called it a propaganda of BJP and said that an attempt is being made to defame Muslims or any particular community. On the other hand, the film’s director Aditya Dhar and the entire team are repeating again and again that this is a completely fictional story. No real person has been targeted in this. This is just an entertainment thriller.
