Arjun Kapoor, Raj Kumar Gupta hail UN for designating Masood Azhar as global terrorist!

The duo made the comments at the trailer launch of "India's Most Wanted", a day after the UN Sanctions Committee designated Azhar as global terrorist.

Mumbai: Actor Arjun Kapoor and director Raj Kumar Gupta on Thursday said United Nations' decision to designate Pakistan-based JeM chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist is a "great achievement" for the country. The duo made the comments at the trailer launch of their film, "India's Most Wanted", a day after the UN Sanctions Committee designated Azhar as global terrorist following China's move to lift its hold on a proposal to ban him. The film follows five unlikely heroes who join forces to catch one of India's most wanted criminals, without firing a single bullet. "It is a great achievement for the country. The country has been trying to get this man to be called a global terrorist. And it has happened and it is a big victory for our country. I hope this man, who is responsible for so many deaths, is brought to justice as soon as possible," Gupta told reporters. Trailer of Arjun Kapoor-starrer 'India's Most Wanted' out! Arjun echoed the director's comments. "UN has finally agreed that he is a threat. It is about time that better sense prevails... We can see how the government has been proactive since last few years trying to get him to be called as a threat. I hope action is taken and we can get justice for all the innocent lives lost." Asked if the story bore any resemblance to that of Yasin Bhatkal, alleged co-founder of the terror organisation Indian Mujahideen, and his arrest in 2013, Gupta said the film is based on real-life events. "It is inspired by true events but I can't say on whom it is based and you can make that decision when you see the film," the director said. "India's Most Wanted" is slated to be released May 24.
