If it happened, shouldn't the govt have records? Karti Chidambaram on currency plates scene in 'Dhurandhar'

When asked which actor he would have preferred for portraying his role, Chidambaram humorously said Pierce Brosnan for his role, and Michael Caine for the father's role.

Congress MP Karti Chidambaram has reacted to a scene in the movie Dhurandhar, allegedly linking him and his father P Chidambaram to a "fake currency deal".

In a recent ANI podcast, Karti refuted the claims that created a lot of buzz on social media, saying that the allegations are a blend of "fact, fiction and WhatsApp forwards."

"No I have not watched Dhurandhar. But I have been told that I have a cameo there. I have also been told its a 3-hour long movie so maybe on multiple flights I'll watch it," he said during the interview.

"I hope the producer had called me and asked me who they should cast as my cameo, I would have given some suggestions," he said.

When asked which actor he would have preferred for portraying his role, Chidambaram humorously said Pierce Brosnan for his role, and Michael Caine for his father's role.

"If people can mix-up fact, fiction, and WhatsApp forwards, what can I do?" he said with a laugh.

Referring to the scene of in which it was mentioned that an Indian minister and his son handed over currency-printing templates to a Pakistani intelligence operative after a deal in London, he noted there would have been records if it was true. "If you really think it happened, shouldn't the Government of India have some records?" he asked.

"Unfortunately, thanks to WhatsApp, and Mark Zuckerberg, people can sift through fact and fiction," he said.

"With AI its only going to get worse," he added.
