Mumbai Jan 21 (IANS) Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap who has been against the format of showing the "smoking is injurious to health" disclaimers during a movie on Sunday took a dig at it by saying it was "fun" to watch it during "Darkest Hour".
"It s fun to watch the smoking warning throughout the film as Churchill puffs away on his cigar while trying to figure out his strategy in his Darkest Hour " Kashyap tweeted.
"Darkest Hour" features actor Gary Oldman portraying Winston Churchill. The actor won his first Golden Globe Award in Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture-Drama category.
Kashyap has been persistent in his view that while running a disclaimer is not a bad idea but the current format of showing it during a movie not right.
"It is fine to put an ad before and after the film but on the film - it s not just distracting it s insulting " Kashyap had told IANS in an interview.
Kashyap had even filed a case in court over his refusal to carry static anti-smoking warnings in his film "Ugly" but had lost it.
