Is this the film for which you first spread fake news, incited people, sent out wrong map of India (straight from the ISI files) and then went to shoot in #CAA_NRC_Protest in August Kranti Maidan with your team 🤔

Hope we ensure #Toofan must only be watched by #CAA_NRC_Protests protestors only.
For us INDIA is important than your movie and ????

Ok so this explains why you wanted quick publicity with CAA protest. Usually Bollywoodias get active when movie release is around corner.
