Laal Singh Chaddha releases on August 11.Bollywood star Aamir Khan in his recent media interaction addressed the social media trolling around him and his upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha. On Sunday, the actor met a selected group of media to talk about his film. When asked about hashtags like ‘Boycott Bollywood’ and ‘Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha’ trending on Twitter, the actor said he feels ‘sad’ about it. He also reasoned that the trolls make it sound like does not love his country but that is absolutely ‘untrue’.
Replying to the question of whether trending hashtags like boycott Bollywood affect him, he 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,” he said. The Dangal star added, “I really love the country. That’s how I am. It is rather unfortunate if some people feel that way. I want to assure everyone that it’s not the case so please don’t boycott my films. Please watch my films,” he said.
An official remake of the 1994 Hollywood movie Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha will release on August 11. It also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya.
