Swara Bhasker & Anurag Kashyap Laud Rahul Gandhi’s Stand On Sacred Games
Sacred Games has got flak from politicians for having portrayed Rajiv Gandhi in bad light. However, his son, Rahul Gandhi took to social media to talk about the freedom of expression. His move was lauded by Sacred Games director Anurag Kashyap and many others from B-Town. Check it out...
Rahul Gandhi took the film industry by storm when he went all praise about Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane’s Netflix series Sacred Games. Rahul had tweeted, "BJP/RSS believe the freedom of expression must be policed & controlled. I believe this freedom is a fundamental democratic right. My father lived and died in the service of India. The views of a character on a fictional web series can never change that. #SacredGames (sic)."

Swara Bhasker, who has always been championing social causes in the film industry, also reverted to Rahul. She said, "It is impressive that a mainstream politician like @RahulGandhi is taking this clear & progressive stand on freedom of expression & censorship. Also it’s gracious & mature that he is able to set aside the personal for the larger goal of democratic rights. #CreditWhereDue (sic)."

Photographer turned producer Atul Kasbekar also spoke up in support of Rahul. He wrote, "This mature view should hopefully now put to rest other easily outraged folks for any future ‘transgressions and perceived insults’. Well done Mr Gandhi (sic)."
