The family members of Bangladesh's Holey Artisan terror attack victims have initiated a lawsuit against Bollywood filmmaker Hansal Mehta, accusing him of 'monetising people's real emotions.'
An upcoming Bollywood film about Bangladesh’s Holey Artisan Restaurant terror attack has stirred controversy in the South Asian nation as victims’ families believe it would dishonour the dead and disrupt Bangladesh’s religious sentiments.
The 12-hour siege at the Holey Artisan Restaurant on July 1, 2016, in the capital city Dhaka is considered to be the worst ever terrorist attack in Bangladesh. Five heavily-armed young men associated with Daesh carried out the bloodshed in what people saw as the utmost act of savagery. Abinta Kabir and Tarishi Jain's family members are now objecting to the film, which has been named after Faraaz. They initiated a lawsuit against Hansal Mehta, demanding an immediate halt of the film’s production.
“When making a film about Faraaz, automatically my daughter, Tulika’s daughter , and the other victims come into the scene. How can it be that none of us was approached for consent? This is supposed to be based on a ‘true story,’ so to portray only one story, the film will disregard all 21 other lives, all of whom were killed in the same incident? How is this humanity?” she said.
"A film that has the potential to damage the reputation of our country, to misrepresent the religion of Islam, and to dishonour the lives of the victims of the July 1 attack, should be brought under tough scrutiny from Bangladeshi authorities before it is allowed to be released to the world,” the statement further said.
To draw an analogy, Hamidul gave the example of March 25, 1971—regarded as the darkest night in Bangladesh’s history in which thousands of Bengalis were mercilessly killed by the Pakistani army.
