Annu Kapoor recently shared the poster for his upcoming film ‘Hum Do Humare Baarah’. The poster showcases the entire cast. The film is based on a family with Annu Kapoor as the head and eleven children with his wife pregnant with the twelfth child. After seeing the poster several social media users criticised the makers for isolating a whole community. Many pointed out the ‘brazen Islamophobia’ and depiction of Muslims ‘as the reason for population explosion’. The director of the film recently spoke up and shared how the film is not objectionable at all’.

He further shared how the film needs to be seen ‘in the right context’. Recently a journalist tweeted the poster and questioned the Central Board of Film Certification for clearing the film. She wrote "How does the censor board (Central Board of Film Certification) allow a film like this that depicts Muslims as the reason for population explosion and extends the relentless attack on the community. The brazen hate and Islamophobia when they use the image of a Muslim family and call it ‘Hum do Hamare Barah’." A Twitter user responded to her tweet and wrote, “Bollywood’s part of a devious ploy…”

In a recent interview, the director shared, “The poster of our film Hum Do Hamare Baarah is not objectionable at all. It needs to be seen in the right context. We assure you that we aren't targeting any one particular community through our film. I am pretty sure that when people will go to watch this film, they will be happy to see one of the most relevant issues of our times in our film which is based on population growth and we are making it without any prejudice and hurting sentiments of any particular community.” 

Further adding “Today, people from one particular community are feeling that they are being targeted through our film. If we would have made a poster reflecting any other community, they would had said the same thing. I feel that cinema is the best medium to express our thoughts and feelings. I urge everyone to not make an issue out of this… Population explosion is a very serious issue that is bugging our country since a long time. Till the time we don't give it a serious thought, our country will not be able to develop the way we expect it to. I urge everyone to see the poster and the film in the right context”.
