‘Calling Sehmat’ author Harinder Sikka on Monday took to Twitter to expose how Raazi, the Alia Bhatt film based on the book, had a different ending than his book.

Responding to a comment on his debate on Republic TV, Sikka said that the ending of the movie was different from the book and the director, Meghna Gulzar changed it to appease the Pakistanis. In the movie, one can see that the female protagonist Sehmat, played by Alia Bhatt, who plays the role of the Indian spy in Pakistan, is upset that the Indian intelligence agencies ‘used’ her services. She is shown to be having regret for exposing Pakistan Army’s plans of attacking India ahead of the 1971 India-Pakistan war which ended with Bangladesh being carved into an independent nation.

We MUST boycott supporters of #Pakistani hukumat.#Gulzar interview to #IndianExpress exposes why narrative was changed. Appeasing #Pakis was more important?
Said #Sehmat ‘Watan ke aage kuchh nahin.’
I regret selecting @meghnagulzar as director. https://t.co/wxsKaC1xxu

He further said that in reality, Sehmat, the Indian spy, believed that nothing before the nation. Sehmat had killed her husband in the Pakistani Army in her line of duty while collecting intelligence and escaped to return to India shortly later. In the movie, Sehmat can be seen having a remorse while breaking down after killing him.

Pls read the book. Sehmat, the hero, did not come back depressed. Instead, she saluted Tri-color,band played National Anthem.#Gulzar intentionally changed narrative to appease #Pakis
I made her director,she backstabbed me. #Shame#BollywoodLobby https://t.co/any7R8kGrN

He said that Sehmat, the actual hero, was not depressed on her return. He reiterated that Meghna Gulzar intentionally changed the narrative to appease the Pakistanis.
