Suniel Shetty urges UP CM Yogi Adityanath as Bollywood is in ‘worst stage’: I know I will get gaali
Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty recently met Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath to help stop the #BoycottBollywood trend and advised him to speak to PM Narendra Modi on the matter.
He said that the trend is not good for Bollywood. “Please stop #BoycottBollywood. You can stop it. Trends on Twitter can be stopped. I’m sad about the perception made about people of UP. We are not only about crime or drugs but it’s us who make India proud in world with our music and art. If you speak to Prime Minister then it will be helpful,” he said.
He added, “Don’t target actors. Lakhs of people get affected because of such trends. Boycotting is not a solution. Films are affected already, let’s not harm everyone. We all need to come together. We are already competing internationally, so we should not fight within.”
Talking about why he picked the particular topic, Suniel recently said that the film industry is probably at the ‘worst stage.’ He also said that people might call him a ‘flop actor’ and even abuse him for his quest.

CM Yogi Adityanath met some celebrities during his brief stay in Mumbai. Among them were Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. Reportedly, Suniel Shetty assured the CM that people of the industry ‘don’t do drugs, or wrong work.’ In a new interview, the actor said that his request was to revive the industry in order to gain the respect back.
There has been an alarming rise in #BoycottBollywood trend, the most recent example being Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s upcoming movie ‘Pathaan’.
The trend picked up pace especially after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020 and big movies, including, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Brahmastra’ among others, faced the brunt.
