Director Rajkumar Santoshi has responded to allegations that claim he demonised any religion or country in his recent film 'Batwara 1947'. "I've never made a propaganda film, nor will I ever do so in the future," said Santoshi, adding, "I believe humanity stands above all religions...I harbour no ill will. I'm pro-India and pro-humanity. I wish harm upon no one."
