Arjun Kapoor opened up about films getting boycotted on social media and how actors do not do anything about it. He said that the industry needs to come together to end this trend and how people who are behind boycott campaigns have led the industry to lose its shine.
Recently, a lot of films have been receiving backlash on social media. Films such as Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Hrithik Roshan’s Vikram Vedha, and Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra are the newest victims of the boycott trend on Twitter.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Arjun Kapoor said, “I think we made a mistake by being silent about it and that was our decency but people have started taking advantage of that. I think we made a mistake by thinking that ‘our work will speak for ourselves’. You know you don’t always need to get your hand dirty but I guess we tolerated it a lot and now people have made this a habit. We need to come together and do something about it because what people write about us or the hashtags that trend, are far away from reality. When we do films that do good at the box office, then at that time people like us not because of our surnames but because of the film.” He added that “ab zada hone laga hai…unfair hai (This has started happening a lot now. It is unfair).”
