In between all the chaos and disturbance in Haryana, Punjab & Delhi due to Panchkula court’s judgement against Gurmeet Ram Singh, Sidharth Malhotra’s latest film A Gentleman got its theatrical release.
A Gentleman is a major Bollywood film released in theatres after spending a lot in making and promotions. Worried about the fact that the situation in these cities will affect A Gentleman’s numbers, Sidharth Malhotra tweeted-
To all the people of Haryana , please stay safe. Hope you can see our film soon #Agentleman #PeaceAndLove

The tweet didn’t go well with people who found it mean and selfish from all angles. Within no time, he started getting criticised for promoting his film in this situation. Here’s how people reacted-

Did you seriously just try to plug a film via this disaster? Play it back in your head and tell me it wasn't an idiotic thing to do.

But soon Sidharth clarified that he tweeted before the verdict and the situation was not that tense at that moment.
Its really sad to see the situation worsen since morning and see people in Punjab and Haryana suffer.Love and prayers.

We think Sidharth was not being insensitive here. His intentions were not bad and it was just the timing that went wrong.
However, he must not think about his film at this moment. He will do a lot of films in future, but those people who are dying in Haryana will not come back and the loss of their families cannot be recovered. Let’s just pray for the peace.
