Suniel Shetty urges UP CM Adityanath to help stop ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend

Share On

Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty urged Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to help erase hatred against the Hindi film industry and get rid of the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend on social media.

Adityanath, who was on a two-day Mumbai visit, rounded off his trip by meeting film personalities such as Shetty, Subhash Ghai, Jackie Shroff, Rajkumar Santoshi, Manmohan Shetty and Boney Kapoor.

Though the agenda of the meeting was to discuss shooting and investment prospects in Noida Film City, Suniel Shetty took the opportunity to put forward the grievances of the film industry.

“I want to talk about this hashtag that’s going on—‘Boycott Bollywood’. It can stop if you say something about it. We are doing good work,” the actor said.

He further requested Adityanath to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s support in clearing the stigma around Bollywood.

“It pains me to see this stigma. Ninety-nine per cent of the people here are good. So, please Yogi ji, take the lead and talk to our prime minister about erasing this stigma,” he added.

The film industry has played a major role in connecting India with the world, Shetty said and requested the Uttar Pradesh chief minister to use his influence in stopping the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend.

“We have to join hands and try and get rid of the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend and make people understand that most people in the industry are good. We don’t do drugs, we don’t harm others.

“I request you to be the person to abolish the stigma. This industry is responsible for connecting India to the world, especially when it comes to music. You’re a very big name, sir. If you talk about it, people will listen,” the actor added.
