We did our homework- Sanjay Gupta reacts to being trolled due to the fact that Hrithik Roshan who plays a blind man, in 'Kaabil' is wearing a watch!
The job of trolls in the big bad world online is that of to critique, find faults and make mountains out of molehills. This phenomenon of negative things going viral online within minutes is something that is fairly new to the Indian Film Industry as it is cropped up in the last few years. However, as easy as it is to ridicule filmmakers, it is also easy for them to post clarification statements and block these trolls. That is exactly what Sanjay Gupta did when he got abused for showing Hrithik Roshan's character that of a visually impaired man in the upcoming movie Kaabil, wearing a watch. This trolling went out of control within minutes and lead to viral meme's being made on how and why a visually impaired man can sport a watch.
Speaking on this, Sanjay Gupta says that, "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."
He also adds that, "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 running someone else's efforts down."
