Just a few days ago, Netflix dropped the trailer of Bard Of Blood starring Emraan Hashmi that left many amazed with the gritty content. Shah Rukh Khan who is producing this show even featured in a few promotional clips to raise the anticipation level and well, for many it did. However, one person was certainly not impressed with this trailer and he is Pakistan Army Major General Asif Ghafoor. He took to Twitter and lambasted SRK for featuring in it rather than promoting peace and asks him to speak against atrocities in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharing his view on Twitter, Asif Ghafoor, the Director-General of Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations wrote, "Stay in bollywood syndrome @iamsrk. For reality see RAW Spy Kulbhushan Jadev, Wing Comd Abhinandan & state of 27 Feb 2019. You could rather promote peace & humanity by speaking against atrocities in IOJ&K and against Hindituva of Nazism obsessed RSS."

The story is based on the book of the same name, penned by the young Indian author, Bilal Siddiqi, which released in 2015. The story will be brought to life as a seven-episode high-octane thriller series for more than 151 million members around the world. The series will stream on Netflix from September 27, 2019. While Asif Ghafoor might have his views, SRK fans didn't leave a chance to give it back to him.
Asif bhai SRK se bhi loan chahiye kya? 🤣🤣

The series features a commercially successful and critically acclaimed cast includes Emraan Hashmi, Vineet Kumar Singh, Sobhita Dhulipala, Kirti Kulhari, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Rajit Kapoor, amongst others. The series is created by Bilal Siddiqi & Gaurav Verma and is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta, which is about four Indian intelligence officers belonging to the Indian Intelligence Wing (IIW) who are compromised before they can relay an important piece of information to India. They get captured and are about to be decapitated. The stakes are high.
Bard of Blood is the first original series produced by Red Chillies Entertainment for Netflix.
