Nationalism is misused a lot today, says Nikkhil Advani

For Nikkhil Advani nationalism is an inherent feeling and the "Batla House" director believes the term is "misused" a lot today.

And through his films, the director aims to make people realise the true meaning of loving one's country.

"My sense of nationalism is very personal but at the same time, I feel it is a word that is misused a lot today in this whole feeling of patriotism. And if you can correct it somewhere by making a film or whatever then why not you should do that," Advani told PTI in an interview.

Elaborating on nationalism being misused, the filmmaker added, "If you don't dress that way you are nationalistic or if you don't say this you are anti-patriotic. I think the Constitution allows you to do what you want to do."
