Actor Swara Bhaskar made a quite a revelation. She said Hindi films may not be performing as well at the box office as one might anticipate due to some factors. One of them is also associated with the commotion that followed Sushant Singh Rajput’s passing and damaged the industry’s reputation. She also made a comparison to what transpired with Congressman Rahul Gandhi.
Swara compared the ongoing situation of Bollywood to Rahul Gandhi, who is mockingly called ‘pappu.’ “Everyone kept calling him pappu, so now everybody believes it. I have met him and he is a perfectly intelligent and articulate man. With Bollywood also, this ‘pappufication’ has happened,” explained the actor who will be next seen in Jahaan Chaar Yaar.
Films like Laal Singh Chadha, starring Aamir Khan, Dobaaraa, starring Taapsee Pannu, and Raksha Bandhan, starring Akshay Kumar, failed at the box office due to boycott movements on Twitter. In order to urge people to boycott the movies, many users also retrieved earlier tweets. In the meantime, according to the trends on microblogging websites, future movies like Liger and Pathaan are also encountering the same difficulties.
Covid19 among the factors that led to cancel culture in Bollywood – Swara Bhaskar
Anurag Kashyap, a filmmaker, in a recent interview spoke about the situation in Bollywood, where only a few films were successful in the previous year, according to Swara Bhaskar. In a recent interview, Anurag claimed that because of the “economic recession” in the country, watching movies has become a leisure activity in which people may no longer be interested. Swara agreed with him and refuted his assertions.
Swara pointed out that films not working in theaters can also be due to the post covid-19 thoughts of the audience. “The fourth reason is after the unfortunate and tragic suicide of Sushant, Bollywood has been painted as a really dark place, that is only about drugs and alcohol and sex.” She also added that the industry is often ‘discredited’ by people who simply don’t like them.
