Indian filmmaker Zoya Akhtar has spoken up for her upcoming film ‘The Archies’ and reacted to social media trolling.

It should be noted that Zoya Akhtar is facing trolling for her upcoming film ‘The Archies’, first due to nepotism in the industry and now it is being said that the cast of her film is ‘white’.

According to Indian media reports, Zoya Akhtar responded to the trolling on various social media platforms and said, ‘Why do you think so? The entire cast of the film is Indian. Why is this racism? Do you understand that Indians are not white in complexion or if someone is white then he is not an Indian?’

The director raised the question and added, ‘How can one describe the identity or appearance of an Indian? He may look like Rahtak Roosh or Rajinikanth or he may look like Diljit Doshi or Meri Kon, that’s the beauty of India that people of all colors are found here.

He further wrote that there are many Indians in India whose complexion is fair but they are not white.

‘Khyal Rahe The Archies’ is a film introducing the children of Bollywood stars to the industry including Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana, Amitabh’s granddaughter Agastya and Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor.
