He further said in the video, I just want to tell some references, so that you can understand how things came to be in this way. In my film, my character is in uniform, because he is an actor, who is playing the role of an officer. When he learns that his daughter is kidnapped, he is using such language. “He said that he has no intention of insulting IAF.”
At the same time, Netflix India also responded to this objection of the Air Force. They tweeted and said, ‘Honorable @IAF_MCC, we will never intend to disrespect the armed forces of India. AK vs AK is a film in which Anil Kapoor and his co-star are playing their own roles as actors. Netflix India wrote in another tweet, ‘The film has not been shown to the Indian Air Force or our armed forces at any point in the film. We have great respect for the brave soldiers who protect our nation.’
Hon. @IAF_MCC, our intention would never be to disrespect the Armed Forces of India in any regard. AK Vs. AK is a film in which Anil Kapoor and his co-stars are playing themselves as actors.
