Sanjay Gupta gives it back to the trolls about Hrithik Roshan’s watch in ‘Kaabil’

We all know that Hrithik Roshan will be seen as a visually impaired man in Sanjay Gupta’s ‘Kaabil’. Well, the actor in the film is seen wearing a watch, and that invited many trolls on the social media. However, Sanjay Gupta gave it back to them.

The director said, “I am amused to see that a lot of people have an objection to Hrithik wearing a watch in ‘Kaabil’ promos despite being visually impaired. However, here’s a fact that would perhaps help enhance their intellect… There are watches specially designed for visually challenged people and they are called – Braille watches. And now there are also talking watches available for the ones who can’t see. Hrithik’s character is wearing one. So you see we did our homework.”

“Trust me, when you see the film, you will agree that the watch plays an important part in the narrative. I can’t divulge more on that right now but looking at what started off on social media, it is safe to say that we are living in a country where people jump the gun and derive pleasure in ruining someone else’s efforts down,” Sanjay added.

Well, we agree with Sanjay.

‘Kaabil’ which also stars Yami Gautam, is slated to release on January 25, 2017.
