‘Indu Sarkar’ promotions get cancelled following protests, Madhur Bhandarkar reacts

Madhur Bhandarkar’s next film ‘Indu Sarkar’ is set in the times of Emergency and thus, highlights the ugly truth of politics. The film has garnered a lot of attention thanks to those who do not want this truth to be revealed. We had reported earlier that the team of ‘Indu Sarkar’ has faced protest from a political party while they were promoting their film in Pune. The star cast and the director were stranded inside their hotel rooms as the protesters barged into the hotel lobby and started protesting.
