A teaser of the Netflix film "AK vs AK" was shared by Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor and on Wednesday it did not sit well with the Indian Air Force (IAF) who demanded "withdrawal" of a few scenes from a soon-to-be-released film.
The Indian Air Force tweeted, "The IAF uniform in this video is inaccurately donned & the language used is inappropriate. 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 The related scenes need to be withdrawn.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 #AkvsAk."
Check it out here.
"AK vs AK" is a Vikramaditya Motwane movie, starring Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor, "as themselves", according to Netflix. It will be released on December 24 on the streaming platform. On December 7, Anil Kapoor had tweeted a one-minute long clip in which the two can be seen sparring as the seasoned actor uses foul language and abuses the filmmaker, rarely seen in front of the camera.
In the post that was shared by Anil Kapoor, he wrote, "No more fooling the audience please. As promised, the REAL narrative of #AKvsAK from the REAL AK."
