"These stories need a new script," reacted filmmaker Hansal Mehta.
Asked to surrender? You shouldn't have started 'shooting' with only the 1st draft of your script. One rewrite at least? https://t.co/FqlVKvlXhc

"The extremely coincidental encounter of #VikasDubey proves that even the police and administration don't have any faith in the judiciary. Because the judiciary is so slow that we have devised a system of 'personal justice'. Dacoits, Naxals, gangsters and even police believe in it," expressed filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri.
"The UP police should've got a better script and director in place for the #vikasDubeyEncounter #VikasDubey," tweeted actress Aahana Kumra.
