Patna:
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad said on Saturday that the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Aarakshan should be shown to those fearing that their sentiments might be hurt as the film is based on reservation.
"If the people demand screening of the film, their wishes should be met forthwith to allay their apprehension about certain contents in the film that may hurt their sentiments," he told reporters.
"It was always wise to satisfy those people opposing the release of the film rather than to force the people to vent their reaction upon its release," the RJD leader added.
"The producer should also cross-check the contents of the film ahead of the release. Our society is caste-based, and there is bound to be opposition if there were to be derogatory contents in the film aimed at any section of the society," Lalu said.
