Commando’s confession

Actor Vidyut Jammwal has reacted on the storm over his recently-released film Commando 3, by saying that controversies are part and parcel of the film industry. Vidyut added saying that makers of the film didn’t intend to hurt people’s sentiment with the particular scene that has raised objections from certain sectors.

Commando 3 landed in a controversy over a scene involving wrestlers, who are shown harassing schoolgirls. So far, many netizens have criticised the film terming the sequence as derogatory towards wrestlers. Well-known Indian wrestler Sushil Kumar has also objected to the particular scene, where a group of wrestlers are shown to try and molest a girl because she wears a skirt to school. Previously, wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Yogeshwar Dutt also objected to the scene.

When a reporter asked him whether such a controversy would benefit the film. “It’s a ridiculous question. We don’t do these things for our benefit. I feel controversies are part and parcel of this industry, so I do not agree with your (reporter) question,” he added.
