Freedom And Freak Out Are Different Says Ashutosh Rana

“Freedom and Freak-out are two different things,” says Ashutosh Rana, reacting to veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's 'freedom of speech' controversy.

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah created a controversy by speaking about his concerns over his children's safety in India, for which the actor has received quite a bashing on the digital platform.

Asked whether the citizens are struggling to express their opinions on certain issues in today's environment, Ashutosh said: "Freedom and Freak-out are two different things. So we are talking about Freedom of Speech, not the freak out of the speech. With Freedom of speech, we can have a different point of views and thoughts on any matter, we might disagree but it doesn’t mean that we need to express our differences ill-mannered or disgracefully”

“Everyone one is entitled to his thoughts and thinking, but here one needs to understand that we may have a different point of view, but we’re not against each other, we just have a difference of opinion" he added on the sidelines of his recent media interaction celebrating the success of Simmba.

Rohit Shetty directorial Simmba, is a spin-off of the Singham franchise, the stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan, and Sonu Sood, with Ajay Devgn reprising his role of Bajirao Singham, has crossed 250 Cr. mark.

Ashutosh Rana’s character of Head Constable Nityanand Mohile has gelled well with fans and actor says he has always tried to do varied and different character portrayal.

He said, “As an actor, I have l always tried to perform different characters with a different temperament and once you do such varied character, you start to appreciate yourself, explore yourself and doesn’t confine yourself into a type of image”

Next Ashutosh will be seen in Sonchiriya, also starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar.
