Kiku Sharda Arrest

"It is anarchism, stupidity and insulting. It is like killing the freedom of expression. Deepak Dobriyal had said on a news channel that he (Ram Rahim Singh) came and made a joke of the film industry by making MSG (Messenger of God), so why can't we make fun of him?" said Piyush Mishra

Kiku Sharda was shooting in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, for a film titled 2016 'The End', when he flew to Mumbai for other commitments. He was slated to be back on the set on Wednesday.

Kiku Sharda's colleagues have reacted with anger and disbelief to his arrest for imitating self-styled guru Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and actor Rishi Kapoor has tweeted in his customary provocative style. "See this picture!I would like to play this rockstar in a film. Let me see who puts me behind bars?"
