Anil Kapoor had no choice but to apologise to Indian Air Force for his upcoming Netflix release, AK vs AK.
Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the movie has been accused of showcasing a wrongful Air Force portrayal.
Soon after, the Welcome actor shared the teaser of his latest film, the authority chimed in and pointed out some ‘disrespectful’ mistakes.
"The IAF uniform in this video is inaccurately donned & the language used is inappropriate (sic)," the Indian Air Force tweeted.
The post further read: "This does not conform to the behavioural norms of those in the Armed Forces of India. The related scenes need to be withdrawn. @NetflixIndia @anuragkashyap72." Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and Netflix India were tagged in the tweet.
Anil Kapoor was quick to respond to these reservations and instantly apologised in a video message.
"It has come to my attention that the trailer of my new film "AK vs AK" has offended some people. As I am wearing the Indian Air Force Uniform while using unparliamentary language, I would like to sincerely offer my humble apologies for unintentionally hurting sentiments," he said in a video message.
AK vs AK is a tumultuous story of a brash film director (Anurag Kashyap, as himself) kidnaps the daughter of a movie star (Anil Kapoor, as himself) and films the star's desperate search for his daughter in real-time as his next blockbuster, as per the synonsis.
