Yesteryear superstar Naseeruddin Shah hints at a dangerous situation after the success of films like Gadar 2 and The Kashmir Files. Vivek Agnihotri slams him in reaction
Naseeruddin Shah has worked in the Bollywood industry for more than half a century. He played the main lead, supporting actor, antagonist and even senior artist and entertained the nation. Also, he also made major contributions to the growth of the world of entertainment in India. In the end, he has got the utmost experience in the industry to comment on a certain trend.
Naseerudin Shah brings the major concern to attention. And it is, to win the Indian audience makers are unnecessarily bringing other communities into a state of antagonism. And movies that do not bring this angle are struggling to survive at the box office. He did not bring up any country or religion in particular.
But he hints at a big point here that different kinds of stories are receiving appreciation and success at the box office. They are either spies in nature or investigation stories. Gadar 2 also brings a chapter on extreme Patriotism.
While having a word with the journalist the Welcome 2 actor said that the Bollywood industry is changing into a jingoistic kind.
Naseerudin Shah also pointed out that the more jingoist you are the more popular you become. Because this is what has been ruling this country. It’s not enough to love your country, but be to drums about it and you have to create imaginary enemies. As of worried artist the The Dirty Picture actor also pointed out that such filmmakers are actually doing a very harmful thing for the country.
Defending himself he said In fact he hadn’t watched any of these jingoist dramas yet creators but he knows the real idea behind them. He also said that he finds it really disturbing that movies like The Kashmir Files won in the race and other entertainers trying to portray the truth of their times don’t get the required exposure, footfall, view and ticket sales.
Vivek Agnihotri reacts to the statement of Naseeruddin Shah
After Naseeruddin Shah’s views went viral on social media and Bollywood news Vivek Agnihotri reacted to the remarks and said blamed the Muslim actor straight away. Taking a jibe at the actor Vivek said,” I am a great admirer of Naseer Sahib that’s why I had cast him in The Tashkent Files. But I don’t know why he has grown old. If that’s the case then I should not say anything.”
He didn’t stop there and said that sometimes people are frustrated with a lot of things or maybe he feels he is getting exposed with the truth of The Kashmir Files. Defending himself and his hit film he further added, “The veteran actor might be supporting terrorism. But I don’t I don’t even care what Nasir says. Because I have zero tolerance for terrorism maybe he loves them and I don’t care.”
It is not the first time an actor has objected to a certain trend setting in the industry for example in the past issues like nepotism and pay disparity were brought into concern. And every time a star gets vocal about something others confront and try to snub him or her defending themselves. We believe that as citizens of this democratic country, we should be allowed freely to speech.
Please do comment if you agree with Naseer sir or Vivek on the topic.
