Against the slogans of boycotting Bollywood films, actor Arjun Kapoor said, “We were very tolerant of these slogans at first. Now they consider it as an advance and have made it a routine to ignore it,” he said.
In recent times, it has become a common practice for Bollywood films to be trending after the release of a Bollywood film, with slogans of boycotting it, and the box office report of the film being a flop within a few days. These boycott slogans are aimed not only at the recent releases of Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Satta and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, but also at the yet-to-release Hrithik Roshan’s Vikram Veda.
In this case, Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has expressed his bold views about this trend of neglect. Speaking to a private television, he said, “I think we made a mistake by keeping quiet about these boycott slogans. It is our dignity. But people have started taking advantage of it. We made the mistake of thinking that our work would speak for us. We tolerated it so much that now people have made this neglect a habit.
We need to come together and do something about it. Because things written about us or hashtags are far from reality. This culture of neglect is unfair. Earlier, the audience was very excited when new films were released. On Friday morning people were not excited about the new film. But things have changed now. In fact, they are much worse. The luster of our profession is fading.
People have been slinging mud at us for years. Even a new car can get muddy. will lose its luster. We face it. We think people’s perspective will change. We all need to come together professionally for that.” He said that.
