There have been several instances when filmmakers have gone overboard while creating convincing content. This time, however, it’s not CGI gone wrong, but a real location that was taken a jab at in the recent movie Genius. The film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and debutant Utkarsh Sharma in the lead roles. But despite a strong star cast, a small blunder led trolls in action.
Apparently, in one of the sequences Lahore’s popular Arfa Karim Tower – a software technology park has been shot as Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) headquarters, which, in reality, is Islamabad. Fiction or not, it is indeed funny for our neighbours.
A Pakistani academic-computer scientist, Umar Saif took to Twitter and pointed out the mistake. Sharing the clip, Umar wrote, “Arfa technology park making waves beyond borders. P.S. Bollywood needs better script writers.”
It didn’t take long for the tweet to go viral and here’s how netizens reacted.
Here are the trolls:
It’s high time for Bollywood to step up filmmaking and make the reel a more believable experience. Genius was released on August 24, but didn’t score well at the box-office.
