Veteran actor Mukesh Rishi shared his thoughts on the criticism faced by the web series ‘Raakh’ for distorting facts. While some praised the series starring Sonali Bendre and Ali Fazal, there was significant social media backlash over alleged unnecessary changes that deviated from the true story.
In an exclusive interview, Rishi acknowledged the debate but defended the creators’ artistic choices in shaping the narrative. He emphasized that once a film is released, it is up to the audience to interpret and judge its authenticity, given the easy access to information in today’s digital age.
Many online users advocate for adaptations based on real events to adhere closely to historical accuracy. Concerns have been raised about the portrayal of real incidents, names, characters, and religious aspects in the pursuit of higher viewership.
