Arjun Kapoor faced the ire of netizens when he recently said that the industry should unite against such boycott trends as Bollywood tolerates a lot. Irked by his statement, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra called Arjun Kapoor a failure and a frustrated actor.
“If a failed and frustrated actor threatens the audience, I don’t think it’s good. Instead of threatening the audience, I think he should focus on his acting. I have a question for him, does he or any of his well wishers supporting Tukde Tukde (gang) have the guts to make movies about another religion? Or say any disrespectful words about these religions or show their gods in a bad light? They only do this to us Sanatans. And after they threaten us. Wait, Arjun ji, the public is already very well aware,” said Narottam Mishra during a media interaction.

A few days ago, Arjun said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, “I think we made a mistake by staying silent for so long. Our integrity was taken as our weakness. We always believe that, the work speaks for itself, all that doesn’t matter.” He also mentioned that the film industry needs to come together and get to the root cause of the problem.
Talking about the social media cancellation culture affecting Bollywood, Arjun Kapoor added, “We have suffered too much. Now people are used to it.” Posting his comments on the boycott trend, Arjun, who was recently seen in Ek Villain Returns, was brutally trolled online.
The boycott trend of late seems to have affected Bollywood. While a huge negative campaign was waged against Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha over the 2015 film’s lead actor’s remark on growing intolerance, Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan also faced the heat of the boycott as trolls took a dig at the tweets of the film’s writer Kanika Dhillon. In addition, the Vikram Vedha boycott is also trending on social media because the film’s lead actor Hrithik Roshan supported Laal Singh Chadha.
