"I'm broken down by government pressure and suppressive policy over this movie, I'll never talked negative to you but I'm in very problem with me Anything can happen anytime ... I couldn't reply to your congratulatory messages that's why I'm under pressure from all sides," he had captioned one of his Instagram videos.
