Even though Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were not permitted to enter a temple in Ujjain on Tuesday, she is still optimistic about the movie’s opening. At the Brahmastra press conference in Delhi on Wednesday, Alia Bhatt disagree the notion that the current state of Bollywood was unfavorable. She emphasised that we must have a positive attitude.
“Climate bas ye hai ki September hai phir October aayega (climate is such that it is September right now and it will be followed by October),” she said. “There is no such thing. It is a beautiful environment to release a movie. Right now, we need to be healthy, happy, safe, secure. We should all feel grateful for just life in general. So aise kuch mat bolo, aap mat spread karo. The environment is not negative. Everything is positive, everything is good. And that is it,” Alia revealed.
Alia Bhatt not deterred by protests
Bajrang Dal protesters blocked actors from entering the Mahakaleshwar Temple on Tuesday. Recently, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and the director Ayan travelled to Ujjain to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings for their forthcoming movie, Brahmastra. Men opposed Ranbir throughout their trip to the temple because of the 11-year-old remark that is currently trending on social media.
Ranbir had once said that he likes to eat beef and circulated the clip on social media. Due to his 11 years old comment, the actor is currently facing a lot of backlash on social media and trollers are using the hashtag #BoycottBrahmastra on Twitter, asking the people not to watch the film.
In opposition to the movie, Bajrang Dal members displayed black flags and placards at the Mahakaleshwar Temple. According to reports, only Ayan was given permission to seek the deity’s blessing because Ranbir and Alia Bhatt were not permitted to access the Temple grounds. Local police were able to contain the scene, and some demonstrators were physically assaulted by government workers for violating security.
