A look at the top tweets from your favourite Bollywood celebrities:
After Bajrang Dal activists vandalised theatres in Gujarat and other parts of the country, protesting against Rajkumar Hirani's latest film PK, several Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to support the film. Here's what they said:
Karan Johar: Attacking a duly censored film has to stop!!! What kind of a democracy are we living in?? No film should be targeted or be allowed to.
Hansal Mehta: Is your faith so fragile that a mere feature film can provoke mindless outrage and vandalism? Dear mob -HAVE FAITH!
Mahesh Bhatt: Art & artists continue to be governed by fear -- fear of public opinion...fear of religious backlash, fear of political pressure & bigotry.
Pooja Bedi: God wants SPIRITUAL FRUIT.. not RELIGIOUS NUTS!! Let's support #PK. I love the bit in #PK when aamir says.. God creatd earth, planets. Galaxies & universes & u a mortal are "protecting" that gigantic force?
Roshan Abbas: This whole PK controversy is only inciting more people to go and see the film! Me included.
Ranvir Shorey: I would say these morons vandalising against 'PK' should go get jobs, except that we all know THIS is their livelihood.
Ritesh Sidhwani: #PK is a Must Watch. I’m a believer & nowhere does it hurt our sentiments or questions religion. In fact it teaches you to love and not fear in the name of God. What it rightfully does is questions the So called messengers & their role between us & our belief.
Vivek Agnihotri: All those gundas attacking cinema halls showing #pk must be arrested immediately and locked up with Asaram. If we all are so enlightened than why do we need a film like #pk to question the pimps of religion. Isn't it common sense? We are such an evolved country that if you make a film with 'nothing' in it, there may be protests by people who believe in 'nothingness'.
Anubhav Sinha: The Most wanted man in India is Dawood Ibrahim and The Most Unwanted Man is Subramanian Swamy.
Farah Khan Ali: I doubt that the ppl who are against d movie PK understand d ideology behind it. It doesn't diss faith, it disses d clergy in all religions. Where were d VHP & Bajrang Dal when "Oh My God" released. Is it that d release of PK is in good time with ther politicl agenda? #conversions.
Uday Chopra: What a wonderful film #PK is…just saw it and I’m bowled over by it. It is the most important film that every Indian should see. Salute!
