Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra has come to the defense of Anubhav Sinha amid growing criticism of his series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. Responding to social media backlash that accused the show of offering a sympathetic portrayal of terrorists, Mishra strongly refuted claims that Sinha lacked patriotism. The show, featuring a stellar cast including Vijay Varma, Pankaj Kapur, Naseeruddin Shah, Arvind Swamy, Dia Mirza, and Patralekhaa, faced criticism for humanising the terrorists involved in the hijacking. Starring Vijay Varma, Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, Manoj Pahwa, Arvind Swami, Anupam Tripathi, Dia Mirza, Patralekhaa, Amrita Puri, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, and Kumud Mishra in key roles, 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack' came under intense scrutiny as viewers and political leaders alike weighed in on the portrayal of one of India's most alarming aviation crises.
