The makers of Mohit Suri's upcoming film Malang unveiled the trailer of their film on Monday in Mumbai. During the press interaction, actors Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur commented on the violence that broke out at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Sunday night.
When asked at the trailer launch of Malang about how they feel about the entire JNU incident, Anil and Aditya responded. Anil said, "I feel it has to be condemned. When I saw it, it was very sad and shocking. I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it. Violence will not help, and the people who were responsible for it should be punished."

Aditya agreed with his co-actor and asserted violence of any kind was unacceptable. "There is no place for that kind of violence in our country. And definitely, the perpetrators have to be brought to task".
