Javed Sheikh, a Pakistani actor recognized for his role as Shah Rukh Khan's father in the 2007 film 'Om Shanti Om', is under fire for his performance in the Pakistani drama 'Jahannum Ba’raasta Jannat'. Clips from the show, which depict Sheikh as Preetum Jaypal—a character loosely based on R Madhavan’s Ajay Sanyal from the 'Dhurandhar' series—have gone viral, sparking backlash online. Critics have pointed out the show's references to Operation Sindoor and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), suggesting it promotes negative stereotypes about India. Social media reactions have been largely negative, with users accusing Sheikh of participating in what they deem B-grade propaganda films aimed at spreading hate against India. Despite his successful career in Bollywood, Sheikh's current project has led to questions about his motivations and the quality of the production, with many calling it 'cheap' and 'cringe-worthy'.
