Suniel Shetty is one of the most celebrated actors in Bollywood and he has carved a niche for himself with significant films throughout the 90s. With years of experience, the actor has now spoken about the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend and stated that ‘it was just a phase' that has passed.
Speaking ANI, Suniel Shetty expressed his views on the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend and stated that “I think it was just a phase, a movement that came and went. Lots of things were happening with Bollywood and '#Boycott Bollywood' was a viral trend, a big movement that was causing further damage to what was already happening in our industry at the time.”
He also recalled speaking to Uttar Pradesh CM, Yogi Adityanath, and informing him that some even point fingers at the Almighty, and that we are mere humans. The actor further remarked that he took it very positively.
Adding to the same, the actor further questioned, "Where are all these trolls now? Does the hashtag exist anymore?"
"Just 10 people here and there, putting out #Boycott Bollywood posts on social media doesn't make any sense anymore. It didn't even make any sense back in the day when it became a viral trend. I believe it was just a phase that we rode out. We just went through a bad patch," Shetty concluded.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Suniel Shetty is known for his movies like Dhadkan, Border, and Krodh. However, fans are eagerly waiting for updates around the third instalment of his much-loved Hera Pheri franchise, Hera Pheri 3. The film will also star Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal reprising their iconic roles.
He will also be seen in Welcome To The Jungle, the third instalment in the Welcome franchise.
