New Delhi: Filmfare recently made its award nomination list public and while many B-town celebrities have been nominated for the upcoming award show, there is one name that irked netizens and that name is Rajkumar Hirani. [caption id=“attachment_5900791” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] Rajkumar Hirani. Image from Twitter[/caption] In 2018, Hirani was reportedly accused of allegedly
sexually assaulting a female crew member while working on the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Sanjay Dutt biopic
_Sanju_ . The film happens to be the very project that had
landed two nominations for the director. Shortly after the nominations were announced on Wednesday, 13 March, users took to Twitter to voice their objection over Filmfare nominating the Bollywood filmmaker in two categories stating that the director who is still under the lens should not have been nominated. Despite everything their audacity to nominate Rajkumar Hirani.
@filmfare is a sellout and bonafide trash!
Another user tweeted, “Rajkumar Hirani named as the best director in Filmfare… I hope he’s not going to parade proudly and he won’t be rewarded, with the accusations of sexual harassment sticking him in the butt he should be small.”
Rajkumar Hirani nommé comme meilleur réal aux Filmfare... j'espère qu'il va pas venir parader fièrement et qu'il sera pas récompensé, avec les accusations de harcèlement sexuel qui lui collent au cul il devrait se faire petit.
