Remember Farhan Akhtar shared
The distorted map excluded Kashmir from India which is
mostly used by Kashmiri separatists who do not consider Kashmir a part of India.”Why should we INDIANS let him release his movie in our country?#BoycottToofaan pic.twitter.com/86BvH3Z5yB

Apart from Farhan Akhtar, ‘Toofan’ also stars Paresh Rawal and Marnal Thakur.
In this regard, the Free Press Journal said that people strongly criticized Farhan Akhtar and accused him of sharing a map of occupied Kashmir on social media in the past, which is shared by separatist Kashmiri people and the said maps. I did not show Kashmir as part of India.
Today in Hindu-majority country of India, insult and mockery of Hindu Dharma, Hindu deities n Hindu customs is going on unabated through mediums like Web series, movies, social media and so on.
