Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar Feels The 'BOYCOTT BOLLYWOOD' Trend Started Post Sushant Singh Rajput's Death (Details Inside)
Recently, filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar discussed his opinions on the well-liked boycott Bollywood movement. The past year saw several films succumb to this pattern. Every movie released in 2022 flopped miserably at theatres, making it a horrible year for the film business. A small number of films, including ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, ‘The Kashmir Files’, and ‘Gangubai Kathiwadi’, dominated the box office. The Hindi film business incensed online users, who demonstrated against practically every film. The director of the fashion film speculates that Sushant Singh Rajput's omission from the industry may be the root of all of this.

Bollywood actor Madhur Bhandarkar, known for films like ‘Fashion’, ‘Page 3’, ‘Traffic Signal’, ‘Satta’, and others, spoke candidly on the current boycott movement. He believes that Sushant Singh Rajput's death sparked a boycott trend since it increased public hostility. The filmmaker noted that this boycott trend mostly began following the passing of Sushant Singh Rajput in an interview with Maniesh Paul on his podcast. He claimed that because he came from a non-film background and struggled, "Maybe the industry ignored him." He expressed his sorrow at losing the actor, noting that it was really terrible that he passed away suddenly and that this angered the audience, aggravating them. The general consensus is that.
He did, however, add that it is only a phase. People nevertheless showed up to see ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ despite calls for a boycott. If the subject is compelling, he continued, people will go see films in theatres. He noted the popularity of films like ‘Kantara’, ‘The Kashmir Files’, and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and claimed that movie going is still a popular activity.

Because a talented star like him cannot take his own life, netizens asserted that it was a murder. His passing sparked outrage among his followers and internet users, who then attacked Bollywood, blaming several major players for allegedly undermining a promising star.
