Anupam Kher, in an interview, recently said that Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha was not a great film, and it wasn’t the boycott trend that affected the Advait Chandan directorial.
In an interview with ANI, Kher also spoke about the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend and said that a film, if it’s good, will work irrespective of the social media outrage against it. “I personally feel this trend will not affect the film. If your film is good, then it will work, but if your film is bad, then it will affect it, but not because of the trend. Everybody has freedom of expression. If an actor, actress, or film person has the right to say anything about any situation, then he/she should also be brave enough to sort of go through the situation.”
He added, “Laal Singh Chadda was not a great film. If it was a great film, then no power would’ve stopped it. Aamir’s PK worked really well. The point is that you need to accept the truth.”
Stating that he is not in favour of the boycott calls, he 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 do brilliant work.”
On the work front, Anupam will be next seen in Kangana Ranaut’s directorial Emergency, The Signature, Anurag Basu’s Metro…In Dino and in the upcoming thriller film IB71.
