Madhur Bhandarkar feels the boycott trend started after the untimely demise of Sushant Singh Rajput; says the public anger got aggravated | Hindi Movie News – Times of India
During his recent interaction with a news portal, the director said that it has happened many times before. However, despite boycott calls, people went to watch ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. According to him, the boycott culture is a phase. If the film is nice and the content is strong, people will go and watch. He also pointed out that people watched ‘Kantara’, ‘The Kashmir Files’, and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’.
Elaborating further, Madhur also added that he noticed that the boycott trends happened largely after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. According to the filmmaker, the actor was from a non-film background and maybe the industry ignored him. He and he struggled. His death was very unfortunate and from there, the anger amid the public got aggravated.
Madhur also opened up about the time when his 2017 film ‘Indu Sarkar‘ faced political opposition. He said that no one from the film industry stood by his side or supported him. The filmmaker said that he sees many people speak about freedom of expression, however, back then, no one even tweeted when his film faced opposition, and that he fought a lonely battle.
