‘Desh Ka Nuksaan Hoga!’ Akshay Kumar’s Request To Trolls Demanding A Ban On Films

New Delhi: The Boycott hashtag has almost become synonymous with Bollywood. Hardly any film escapes being trolled.

If Akshay Kumar is being trolled for his ‘Raksha Bandhan’, Aamir Khan is being trolled for ‘Laal Singh Chaddha.’ In an exclusive conversation with IndiaToday.in, Akshay Kumar, who is busy promoting ‘Raksha Bandhan’ shared his take on the matter and requested everyone to not call for a boycott of films.

Ahead of his film’s release, Akshay spoke to IndiaToday.in about the cancel culture. He said, “Humare yaha toh sab cheez ko boycott kardo, isko kisika ka channel ban kardo. Toh kisi ki yeh ban kardo, kya hai yeh? Yeh ek fashion sa ban gaya hai and dekhiye, main haath jodh ke unn logo se vinti karna chahta hu ki bhai, ban karke kiska nuksaan hoga? Desh ka hi nuksaan hoga.”

He further added, “Humare desh ka nuksaan hoga, chaahe woh film ban kardo toh chaahe woh channel ban kardo, toh chahe woh industry ban kardo, chahe isko. Main kahunga iss se kuch faeda nahi hain. Haath jod ke vinti karna chahta hoon. It’s better don’t stop the economy of our country, please let it go on. It is important that our country should just come up by doing this, by spreading all this. It is a wrong thing you are spreading. So I would just join my hands and say don’t do all these things, it’s not a good sign.”

On the one negative trend in the industry he would want to cancel, the actor said, “See, everybody has the right to write whatever they want to write. They have all the freedom of speech so they can write whatever they want. But again, it’s just a request. Don’t spread all of these things, it’s not a good thing.”

For the past few weeks, people have been boycotting Hindi films for one reason or the other. Speaking to the media, Akshay Kumar said, “There are few people who do these things. They’re doing mischief. That’s okay. It’s a free country. Everyone is allowed to do what they want. This helps the economy. It’s not going to make any sense when people do such things. We are all on the verge of making our country the biggest and the greatest. I would request them not to get into it. I would also request everyone not to highlight such things. It’s better for our country. ”
