Singer and music composer Amaal Mallik has shared his views on the debate surrounding violent films and their alleged influence on people, following the horrific attack on a Class 10 student in Andhra Pradesh. The incident involved a 21-year-old man named Hemanth, who attacked the student with an electric chainsaw after she rejected his advances.
Following the incident, some people have questioned whether violent films, particularly those made by filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, encourage such behaviour. Reacting to the discussion, Amaal took to X (formerly Twitter) and said that while films and music can influence young minds, cinema alone cannot be held responsible for an individual’s actions.
“I understand why people are concerned. Films and music can influence young people, and some kids copy what they see. Filmmakers should think about how they show violence. But cinema alone cannot be blamed for someone’s actions,” Amaal wrote.
He pointed out that family values, upbringing, the political climate, personal experiences and an individual’s way of thinking also play a role. However, he made it clear that none of these factors can ever justify violence. Strongly condemning the Andhra Pradesh incident, he added, “I would never support anyone going into a school, college or any other place to kill someone with a chainsaw. It is horrifying and completely wrong.”
The singer also said that he has enjoyed films like Animal, Kabir Singh, Dhurandhar and KGF, while admitting that he has had issues with certain scenes in some movies. He believes audiences should understand that a film is a story and everything shown on screen need not be imitated in real life.
