Amid the ongoing “#BoycottBollywood” trends, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked his party workers not to make unnecessary comments on Bollywood. Speaking on the second day of the National Executive Meeting of the Bhartiya Janata Party, PM Modi told his party workers that unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues like Bollywood put the agenda of party development and national development on hold.
“#BoycottBollywood” has been trending mainly in the Northern belt of India for a few months, especially after Sushanth Singh Rajput’s untimely death. The last prominent victim of this trend was Amir Khan’s “Laal Singh Chadda” and now, Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” has been facing the brunt of this, the main allegations being that of hurting Hindu sentiments and culture. CBFC has already removed some scenes and cut the bikini shots of Deepika from the “Besharam Rang” song as Deepika was seen sporting a “saffron” bikini. As such, many BJP leaders have also made comments on issues like these.
Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra had even threatened to block the release of “Pathaan” if certain scenes were not ‘rectified’. The minister had said the scenes were ‘highly objectionable’ and shot with a ‘dirty mindset’. Previously, he even threatened to boycott Prabhas’s “Adipurush” if Lord Ram is shown in a bad light. Now, PM Modi’s statement comes as a relief to Bollywood as it tries to recover from a bad 2022.
