Vijay Deverakonda Reacts To Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha Trend

Aamir
Khan’s
much
awaited
film

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
released
in
theatres
on
August
11.
Unfortunately,
the
Advait
Chandan-directorial
had
to
face
the
heat
of
the
ongoing
cancel
culture
which
has
engulfed
Bollywood
and
taken
social
media
by
storm.

By
the
end
of
the
first
week,
the
film,
a
remake
of
Tom
Hanks’

Forrest
Gump,
minted
just
Rs
49
Crore
which
was
far
below
the
expectation
levels
from
a
star-driven
film.

Vijay
Deverakonda
who
is
currently
busy
promoting
his
upcoming
film

Liger,
spoke
about
these
boycott
trends
in
an
interview
with
India
Today.

He
said
that
when
a
film
is
boycotted,
it
doesn’t
only
affect
the
lead
actor
but
many
other
people
as
well
who
are
associated
with
the
making
of
the
film.

Vijay
told
the
portal,
“I
just
think
on
a
film
set,
other
than
the
actor,
director,
and
actress,
there
are
many
other
important
characters,
there
are
200-300
actors
working
on
a
film
and
all
of
us
have
staff
members,
so
a
film
gives
employment
to
many
people
and
is
a
source
of
livelihoods
for
many.
When
Aamir
Khan
Sir
makes
a

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
it
is
his
name
that
stars
in
the
film,
but
there
are
2000-3000
families
that
are
being
provided
for.
When
you
decide
to
boycott
a
film,
you
are
not
only
affecting
Aamir
Khan,
you
are
affecting
thousands
of
families
who
lose
work
and
livelihoods.”

The

Dear
Comrade
star
also
urged
everyone
to
look
at
the
bigger
picture
as
he
feels
that
by
boycotting

Laal
Singh
Chaddha,
one
is
affecting
the
economy
and
not
just
Aamir
Khan.

“Aamir
Sir
is
someone
who
pulls
the
crowd
to
the
theatres.
I
am
not
sure
why
this
boycott
call
is
happening,
but
for
whatever
misunderstanding
this
is
happening,
please
realize
you
are
not
affecting
Aamir
Khan
alone
but
the
economy.
It
is
a
much
bigger
picture,”
India
Today
quoted
Vijay
as
saying.

Speaking
about
Vijay’s
upcoming
film

Liger,
the
film
helmed
by
Puri
Jaganath,
has
him
sharing
screen
space
with
Ananya
Panday
for
the
first
time.
