Netizens have decided to boycott Bollywood films because of their attitude, religious content which hurts the audience, arrogance, and nepotism in the industry.

Amid the #BoycottBollywood trend, the old video of Shah Rukh Khan from the 2016 press conference has gone viral. In the clip, he can be heard saying, “After working for so many years on film stories, with film people (celebrities), people who are watching films matter. As you wake up in the morning you should have respect for them (audience) and not look down upon them saying the audience is silly they don’t understand my films, I think they understand everything. One should respect their work. I am shy, I don’t have sense of extra confidence, I take help of people who are backstage. I prepare a lot when I am on stage and I don’t always get it right.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be making his big Bollywood comeback after four years from an action thriller film Pathaan alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film is among the most awaited films and is slated to hit the theatres on January 25, 2023.
