Actor Akshay Kumar praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Akshay Kumar said that Modi is the biggest influencer in India and his words will bring big changes. The actor also claimed that this is good for the film industry.
Last January 17, Prime Minister Modi had asked the BJP workers to refrain from making unnecessary remarks about films in the BJP National Executive Committee meeting. Modi is reported to have said that such remarks are affecting BJP’s development agenda. Akshay Kumar spoke in praise of Modi referring to this remark.
“If the Prime Minister has said something like this, then that positive thing should be welcomed. He is the most influential person in India. If changes happen because of what he said, it will be good for the film industry.”
“Things will definitely change. We have gone through a lot of bad situations. We make a film, the censor board sees it. They approve it. But when someone says something, there is a controversy. Now he (PM Modi) has responded to it. I think that is good for us” – ‘Selfie’ Akshay Kumar was speaking at the trailer launch of the film.
