@Satar_Saadat Sir; I believe Indian Film Industry is reach enough to make this kind of historical movie without any help from international comm. And also all our reaction ( negative & positive) will be very good marketing & advertizing for the film; this is what they want. https://t.co/HUTfiyr4sv

Dear @duttsanjay Ji: Historically, the Indian cinema has been extremely instrumental in strengthening the Indo-Afghan ties – I very much hope that the film “Panipat” has kept that fact in mind while dealing with this important episode of our shared history! https://t.co/8HKLei2ce1
