Randeep Hooda Talks About Oppenheimer
During a recent interview with Ranveer Allahabadia, Randeep Hooda stirred controversy by expressing concerns about the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer. He said that America tends to produce ‘propaganda’ films portraying Americans as heroes. Additionally, he highlighted the consequences that ensued after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Speaking about his film, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, Randeep acknowledged his desire to make it an ‘international document.’ He asserted, “America produced Oppenheimer. That individual constructed the atomic bomb. The incident was extremely distressing… In Japan, they detonated the bombs on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki at night, yet they are portrayed as virtuous ones. America is depicted as the virtuous party. What actions did they take in Vietnam? Their films serve as propaganda, projecting them as the superior army, the virtuous ones. They depict the Japanese and Germans as villains. History also follows this narrative because it controls its narration. However, this portrayal is inaccurate.”
