Producer Rhea Kapoor has taken a stand against a trade journalist for spreading what she calls “dangerous hate speech” and promoting misogynistic rhetoric and violence against her film, ‘Thank You For Coming.’ The film, directed by Rhea Kapoor’s husband Karan Boolani and headlined by Bhumi Pednekar, features a strong ensemble cast including Kusha Kapila, Dolly Singh, Shivani Bedi, and Shehnaaz Gill.

In an Instagram post, Rhea Kapoor expressed her disappointment at the trade journalist’s comments, especially considering he hadn’t even seen the film. She highlighted that the film’s message revolves around women rejecting shame, a theme that the journalist seemed to oppose vehemently. She questioned the industry’s acceptance of such behavior and encouraged others not to subscribe to it.

Rhea Kapoor also extended her gratitude to fans for their overwhelming support for ‘Thank You For Coming.’ She emphasised that the film’s intent has always been to encourage viewers to reject shame, confront past traumas, and embrace themselves as they are.

Ekta Kapoor, co-producer of the film alongside Rhea Kapoor, also shared her perspective on ‘Thank You For Coming.’ She described the film as a lighthearted approach that doesn’t aim to dismantle patriarchy but rather tickles it with feathers, making all the “bullshit” get sneezed out. Ekta Kapoor highlighted the diverse reactions the film has elicited, ranging from intense love to palpable anger.

Check it out:

‘Thank You For Coming’ hit theaters on October 6, offering audiences a unique and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
