Randeep Hooda criticized Cillian Murphy's Oppenheimer as a propaganda film and shared his thoughts on American filmmaking.

During a recent interview with Ranveer Allahabadia,the 47-year-old actor sparked discussion by expressing his views on the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, implying that American cinema often portrays Americans as heroes in what he referred to as "propaganda" films.

Additionally, the Highway actor highlighted the repercussions of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.

Discussing his film Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, Randeep confessed his aspiration to transform it into an "international document."

He said, “America made Oppenheimer. That man built the atomic bomb. It was such a painful incident… in Japan, on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they detonated the bomb at night, but they’re good guys."

"America is the good guy. What did they do in Vietnam? Their movies are propaganda, their movies tell the entire world that ‘we are the best army, we are the good guys."

"Japanese, Germans are bad’ and history also has the same thing, because they have written history. But this is not true,” he added.

The actor went on to comment that the US also asserts that aliens consistently choose to visit their nation, implying that aliens can only recognize America.

“They made pictures on their heroes like Oppenheimer, Truman and the world watches them. On the other hand, we are always trying to demean our heroes because of political vendetta,” the actor said.
