Radhika Apte who plays Noor Inayat Khan in Lydia Dean Pilcher’s World War II drama, A Call To Spy has said that war-based movies in India are extremely nationalistic and this can take away from real acts of heroism.
“It worries me sometimes because literally, we have cricket and cinema, two most influential forms. And if this is how we start looking at our neighbouring countries and war, it’s a bit concerning. I mean I understand the situation at the moment but its humans being sent there to shoot each other. What is war is something very important to think about,” she said, according to Hindustan Times.
