Akshay Kumar REACTS to boycott Raksha Bandhan trend: Don’t feel like watching movie, then don’t

For quite some time, netizens were trending Boycott Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha on social media. However, now actor Akshay Kumar who is headlining Raksha Bandhan reacted to this boycott trend where he mentioned that if they don’t feel like watching the movie then they shouldn’t but it is a free country and everyone is free to do anything they want.

“If you don’t feel like watching the movie, then don’t. It is a free country, everyone can do what they want. But this all (speaking about the two big releases) helps the economy of India. We are all on the verge of becoming the biggest and the greatest country. I would request them (the trolls) and you (the media), don’t get into it,” said the Sooryavashi star mentioned during an event in Kolkata that left the audience gathered at the event in applause.

Earlier, Aamir Khan had appealed to people to watch his film in theatres and said, “That boycott Bollywood, boycott Aamir Khan, boycott Laal Singh Chaddha. I feel sad. I feel sad because a lot of people who are saying this in their hearts believe I am someone who doesn’t like India. In their hearts, they believe that, but that’s quite untrue.”
