Salim Diwan who was last seen in ‘Bollywood Diaries’ has made a comeback with a hard-hitting
short film ‘Quran’. ‘Quran’ is a 15-minute short film which depicts one of the grave issues faced
by the islamic community across the globe. Terrorism has always been linked directly to Islam,
which has been a cause of xenophobia towards them. As a result, racist attacks and intolerance
against the muslim community has seen an exponential rise since the past couple of years.
Talking about the issue, actor Salim Diwan says, ‘When I first heard the script, I immediately
said yes! The stigma, faced by muslims, has always been a collateral damage of the actions
performed by the terrorists in the name of Allah, but that is not the truth. No religion would teach
violence, and nowhere in Quran is it written that those who do not follow islam should be killed.
Therefore, I’d like to emphasise on this fact that these terrorists, who call themselves the
protectors of ‘Islam’, actually do not have any religion and they certainly do not preach islam.
Through this short film, I want to desensitise the toxic perceptionthat people have about islam
and muslims because, believe me, I’m a muslim and I hate violence.”
‘Quran’ is now streaming on YouTube on the official channel of Rehab Pictures Pvt. Ltd.
