Why #BhootPolice poster had Hindu Saints in background ?
Why it’s not any Muslim mulla or Maulanas ?? #BoycottBollywood
Bollywood consistently finds its way to mock Hindu Saints

#SaifAliKhan is real #Bhoot. He was part of #Tandav web series which was Boycotted being against #Hindutva. He is kind of 3rd class actor who even don’t deserve to be in role of Rawan in #Adipurush #BhootPolice pic.twitter.com/pX2TNGZqCr

This is not the first time that Saif Ali Khan is facing backlash for allegedly defaming Hindu gods. Earlier in January 2021, Saif’s OTT series Tandav also landed in similar controversy with certain people demanding a ban on it for allegedly ridiculing Hindu deities. Back then, BJP leader Kapil Mishra alleged that Tandav is “anti-Dalit and full of communal hatred against Hindus”.
Bhoot Police stars Saif Ali Khan, Yami Gautam, Jacqueline Fernandes and Arjun Kapoor. The movie also marks Saif’s first collaboration with Arjun Kapoor and Yami Gautam. Bhoot Police is produced by Ramesh Taurani and Akshai Puri and will be released on Disney+Hotstar.
