Hrithik Roshan plays a blind man in Sanjay Gupta’s upcoming film Kaabil. Some trolls online found it weird that a blind man wears a watch. Ever since the promos of Kaabil, that also stars Yami Gautam, online trolls have been taking pot shots at the film.
Sample this meme:
The film’s director Sanjay Gupta took to Twitter and responded to the trolls:
Sanjay was also quoted by DNA as saying, “I am amused to see that a lot of people have an objection to Hrithik wearing a watch in Kaabil promos despite being visually impaired. However, here’s a fact that would perhaps help enhance their intellect.There are watches specially designed for visually challenged people and they are called - Braille watches. And now there are also talking watches available for the ones who can’t see. Hrithik’s character is wearing one. So you see we did our homework.”

I can’t divulge more on that right now but looking at what started off on social media, it is safe to say that we are living in a country where people jump the gun and derive pleasure in running someone else’s efforts down,” he added.
