Bollywood is facing tough times. This year almost all Bollywood movies from Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, Akshay Kumar’s Rakshabandhan, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan called for Boycott. After Suniel Shetty requested to Yogi to help Industry to end Boycott Trends now. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a statement for government to help to end this trend. The Federation has penned a long note against these Boycott Trends.
The Federation wrote, “The recent trend of “#Boycott Bollywood” has been affecting the producers and lakhs of workers working for the films and it has been seriously noted by the FWICE as it has raised a major situation of survival of the common workers, technicians and the artists who are earning their daily bread from this industry.”
FWICE added, “A film is made with passion and dream of success. However, these blooming dreams get shattered by such trends which are many times influenced by people believing in hatred and those who do not support peace, harmony and unity. People have been barging into the theatres and threatening the public and forcefully vacating the theatres. There have been threats to the producers and the lead actor/actresses. They are abused on social media platforms with filthy/vulgar language.”
The organization stated, “We strongly condemn these acts and the boycotting of any film which is already certified by the final cell of the Film authorities which is the CBFC. Getting a film certified through the CBFC is itself an achievement as the film and the filmmakers are going through the entire process of certification. The protestors of the film should thus follow the right channel and report their grievances against the film to the CBFC and other governing authorities rather than blindly coming up with such a destructive trend to blatantly boycott the entire industry.”
It concluded, “FWICE stands strong in support of the producers who are creating films and generating employment to lakhs of people and help them to earn their living and survive with dignity. We urge the government to intervene in the matter and stop this trend of ‘Boycott Bollywood.’”
