FTII row: Anupam Kher slams filmmakers for returning National Award
In a series of tweets, Kher, 60, whose wife Kirron Kher is a BJP MP from Chandigarh, termed the group of directors "Award Wapsi Gang".
Veteran actor Anupam Kher has slammed the directors, who returned their National Awards in solidarity with the protesting FTII students, calling it a move motivated by "agenda".
Filmmakers Dibakar Banerjee, Anand Patwardhan and eight others on Wednesday returned their National Awards, saying their decision to return the awards was taken in view of the apathy displayed by the government in addressing the students' issues and the general environment of intolerance against debate.
