Ahead of the judgement, Article 15 filmmaker Anubhav Sinha took to his official Twitter handle to share a series of tweets encouraging people to keep peace in the country.
In one he wrote, “आज,न हिंदू बन के सोचना,
न मुसलमान बन के सोचना,आज मेरी जान, हिंदुस्तान बन के सोचना।अनुभव.”
आज,
न हिंदू बन के सोचना,
न मुसलमान बन के सोचना,
आज मेरी जान,
हिंदुस्तान बन के सोचना।

Acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta also shared his opinion on the landmark judgement and wrote on Twitter, “Waqt lagta hai, par ho jaata hai. The Supreme Court has delivered it’s verdict on a longstanding dispute over land title. Respect the law, accept the verdict and ignore those who will try to gain political capital or TRPs from this. It really is time to move on.”
