Stop misrepresenting Haryana, urges Randeep Hooda
Randeep Hooda, whose upcoming film 'Laal Rang' is set in Haryana, hopes that the movie will give the locals a reason to celebrate as the state has been depicted in the right light. However, the actor, who prides on being a Haryanvi, is upset that Bollywood's portrayal of the region has been misleading so far.
Randeep Hooda criticizes renaming of Gurgaon
He says, 'I have a grudge against some filmmakers who have shown the state in a bad light. It's not only about khap panchayat, honour killings and female infanticide.
1x1 polls
It's an interesting place but somehow, we choose to highlight the negative aspects. Bollywood associates it with crime. In the wake of the riots and everything that happened there, I hope our film will give the people of Haryana a sense of identity and the songs will give them a reason to celebrate.'
