Filmmaker and producer Ashoke Pandit has been getting a lot of messages on social media, threatening him with dire consequences for producing a film like ‘72 Hoorain’.Speaking about the police protection that has been provided to him, Pandit told ETimes, “I have been getting threatening messages from the time I started promoting my film. I had written a letter to the police about the same. Since the film was released today the local police have provided me with security. It condemns terrorism and the the enemies of the country have an eye on. I thank the Mumbai police for the protection. I am sure people will go to theatres and support us in fighting terrorism. This is a concern of the entire country.Defending the movie against the criticism, Ashoke Pandit had previously shared, “Our intention is to expose terrorism — all those forces which are supporting terrorism, which are sowing a seed of terrorism in humankind and the innocents who are getting targeted. This has nothing to do with Islam and the Quran. It has been released in English and 10 other Indian languages – Assamese, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Kannada, Kashmiri, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu. ’72 Hoorain’ is a national award winning film.
