Negative news on actor on Shoot on Sight

To Whom It May Concern,

 I am writing this letter to inform you of certain issues that attain to the production, “Shoot on Sight”. Though the character in question, Avtar Singh Kaul has only a limited role, it may still have a significant recourse on the success of  the production.  The actor in question above plays an innocent man, shot on a subway platform, though in his real life, he is all but innocent.
 The above named person, Avtar Singh Kaul, has had a long history of run-ins with the law, as well as a criminal record ranging from rape of a minor to other charges of aggravated assault.  It seems the production company did not do an extensive or any background check prior to giving a person such a role, which is a critical role in the movie. Your production Shoot on Sight, starts off, with the above named actor, setting up the movie, as he is shot, and at the end proclaimed to be innocent.
The reason I am advising you of this, is because I do not want to see a negative impact on your films, due to the actions, and past criminal history, as well as future pending criminal indictments of the actor named above.
 I was shocked when the production company put so much faith in this above named Actor, Avtar Kaul, to put him as the lead actor, photograph on your movie poster, which will for sure have grave impact on the success of the movie, once it is released of the true character and moral standings in society the above named actor possesses. He plays a role, of something he is morally the opposite of, and in fact is a criminal. Also pending charges, may impact the movie.
 There is a guarantee, that this information will be spread in the film industry in the United Kingdom, India, United States, and the Bollywood arena, as well as all the film festivals, with protestors, from rape coalitions, and groups denouncing immoral actors, playing roles, that might corrupt the youth.
 I know of directors, the above named actor was to be given roles to play, but after finding out the criminal past of Avtar Kaul, he was declined the roles, due to bad publicity that may arise from his appearance in a movie production.  The criminal act of a rape of a minor is a serious charge that is also not taken well in any country, especially India.
 I think the public and everyone deserves the right to know. He definitely does not have the maturity, morality, or the descent character to be in the Bollywood Film Arena.  I think these types of immoral citizens; bring down, the quality and moral standings of the film industry.

Dear Pdey, Yes, you can actually do a background check on Avtar Kaul and will find out his implications with the law and the different cases were he was charged for his misconduct. We all make mistakes but, I think in this case it was foolish for the director and producer to select him when he has had these issues. It just doesn't go well in society when basing a movie on a criminal act.
