Randeep Hooda recently turned director with the film `Swatrantya Veer Savarkar` in which he also played the lead. The actor has been long defending the movie against those of who have been tagging it as `propaganda`. Recently, in an interview, Randeep highlighted the propaganda behind American movies and how they portray their country`s heroes on screen. He cited the example of the Oscar-winning film `Oppenheimer`. He reminded people of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings that left thousands dead. The world’s first atomic bombs were created under the supervision of J Robert Oppenheimer, the subject of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film.
Randeep said in an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, “America made Oppenheimer. That man built the atomic bomb. It was such a painful incident… in Japan, on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they detonated the bomb at night. America is the good guy. What did they do in Vietnam? Their movies are propaganda, their movies tell the entire world that ‘we are the best army, we are the good guys. Japanese, Germans are bad’ And history also has the same thing, because they have written history.”
