Actor Anupam Kher opened up about the boycott Bollywood trend in a recent interview and if it had anything to do with Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor starrer ‘Laal Singh Chadha’s failure. The Advait Chandan directorial tanked at the box office and the film was later released on Netflix.
Now, Anupam Kher has said that 'no power would have stopped' ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ from working if it were a great film.
‘Laal Singh Chadda was not a great film. If it was a great film then no power would've stopped it. Aamir Khan's PK worked really well. The point is that you need to accept the truth,’ Anupam told news agency ANI.
The actor further said, ‘I am not for boycott trends, not at all but you can't stop somebody from doing what they want to do. But if your product is good, it will find its audience. In fact, they will go with a vengeance. And the only way to kill this trend is to make brilliant work.’
Anupam also said that he feels this trend will not affect a film if it is good. He added that everybody has freedom of expression and if an actor has the right to say anything about any situation, then they should also be brave enough to go through the situation. He was seemingly hinting at Aamir's 2015 interview where he said that his then-wife Kiran Rao suggested they move out of India because of ‘growing intolerance’. The clip of the interview had resurfaced ahead of ‘Laal Singh Chadha’s release.
Anupam Kher will be next seen in Kangana Ranaut's directorial ‘Emergency’. He also has ‘The Signature’, ‘Metro In Dino’, and ‘IB71’ in his kitty.
