In the clip, Afsar along with at least two others ask to speak to the cinema manager about the ‘Islamophobic’ nature of the film, the report said. Later on, the staff was forced to pause the screening as mayhem broke out, with audience members seen confronting the activists and telling them to leave, Daily Mail reported. After the activists were taken out of the cinema by the security personnel, a theatre attendant could be heard telling the audience: “If you want to watch this film, you should calm down first. I am going to resume this film. We’re trying to deal with this in the best way we can. We’ve paused the film, we’ve turned the lights on, we’ve called the police.” Not to forget, Afsar, an entrepreneur and property developer, last year led a campaign to pull ‘The Lady of Heaven’ from the cinemas.
