Team Jaat says ‘sorry’
Randeep Hooda’s Ranatunga has left many Christians hurt, and they voiced their discontent over the scene where Hooda unleashes his fury in a church, imitating the crucifix. After the protests, the team decided to delete the objectionable scene and even issued an apology statement.
Jaat 2 in the making
The success of Jaat has motivated the makers to come up with Jaat 2. The next instalment of Jaat promises to be bigger and bolder. Jaat also stars Vinnet Kumar Singh, Regina Casandrra, and Sayami Kher in supporting roles.
