The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has shared a statement against the current Boycott Bollywood trend. It requested the government to help against the movement.
Bollywood actor Sunil Shetty recently talked to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to support weaken the Boycott Bollywood movement across the country. Now, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has too issued a statement condemning it.
They appealed to the government to stop the #BoycottBollywood trend and called it ‘hooliganism.’ FWICE claimed that a film involves the labor and hard work of lakhs of people who serve on a film set. FWICE recommended that if someone experiences any issue with a film’s content, they should write about it to the Central Board of Film Certification instead of vandalizing theaters.
In a statement, the federation told, “FWICE strongly condemns the ongoing trend of “#Boycott Bollywood” and seeks immediate protection against the hooliganism in theaters and the threats to the producers. The #Boycott Bollywood trend has raised a major situation of survival of the common workers, technicians, and the artists who are earning their daily bread from this industry.”
Since few years, Bollywood audience have started to talk negatively and boycott almost every film that releases from the industry. Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming film Pathan also faced the heat of the trend as there was an outrage against its first single song Besharam Rang. Politicians and a section of public have felt that the song was obscene and vulgar, dressing if SRK and Deepika insults the Hindu sentiments, they said.
