Shaktimaan actor Mukesh Khanna is pretty well known for expressing his displease over things he doesn’t like. Recently, he was in the news for taking on Sony TV’s comedy talk show, The Kapil Sharma Show. And now, he has written a lengthy post calling out the makers of Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb for the film’s title.
The veteran actor took to social media and pointed fingers saying that commercial aka mainstream filmmakers don’t target other religious aside from Hinduism in films, especially the title. He also urged the public to take action against such things. Read on to know what he wrote.
Mukesh Khanna took to his Instagram handle and vented out at the makers of Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb. In a lengthy post on the social media platform, he wrote, “Kya Laxmi Bomb Title se koi film release honi chahiye ? Is par poore Desh Me Bahas chidhi hui hai. Kuch log film ko ban karne ki maang kar rahe hai. Mujhse poocho to film ban Jayez naheen hai. Kyonki kisi ne film Abhi dekhi naheen hai. Sirf trailer dekha hai. Film Abhi baaki hai.” (Do you think a film titled Laxmi Bomb should be released? The entire nation is talking about it. Some people are calling for a ban on the film. If you ask me, then it’s not fair to ban the movie because no one has watched it yet. People have just seen the trailer.)
He concluded his post writing, “Lekin films me ४० saal beeta kar itna to Daave ke saath kah sakta hoon ki har Producer apni film ko HIT dekhna chahta hai. Is liye aise paintare laata hai. LAXMI BOMB unhi me se Ek hai. DIFFUSE karo ise !!!!”( After spending 40 years in the industry I can say this for sure, all producers want their films to be hit. That’s why they come up with such tactics. It’s the same with Laxmi Bomb. Diffuse it!)What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments.
