It Hurt Me When They Said I Am Against Farmers: Suniel Shetty

Actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, and Suniel Shetty backed the Indian government after international public figures such as Rihanna and Greta Thunberg posted about the ongoing farmers' protests. However, it didn't come out well for some people as they labeled them anti-farmers. And now, opening about the backlash these stars facing, actor Suniel Shetty said that it has hurt him that people are talking such things about him. ## "The narrative of me being against the farmers is b***sh*t. It hurt me when they said that 'he is against farmers'. If I could, I would probably catch each and every one of them. There are a lot of emotions. I want to tell them that we are talking about our country, home, our families", said the actor to IANS. ## "My forefathers were farmers, I come from a small town called Mulki in Mangalore that I visit four times a year even today, and 70 percent of it is a farm. Secondly, I am an Indian. It has always been like that and my films say that. People say that you thrash other countries. It doesn't matter to me as long as my India is fine. That's who I am", he added. ## As soon as Suniel and other public figures posted about the farmers' protest, many theories started doing rounds on social media. Some people called their response influenced by political outfits. Responding to that, Shetty said that he said what he believes and it wasn't affiliated with any political party. ## "I am a proud Mumbaikar and I am proud of the fact that my Chief Minister and others have handled the pandemic well. What matters to me is that people are doing good. I have campaigned for friends who are from various political parties but I have campaigned for people. I have not campaigned for a party. I never take party names. I campaigned for individuals. I believe, right now India is at the threshold of getting back to normalcy and I stick to that", he said.## "I am an actor. If I say something I am hammered, if I don't say something I am hammered. So, what do I do? I am a father. My children are threatened on Twitter. Why? What wrong have I done? I say, settle it amicably like the rest of the people who care about the farmers are saying", he added. ## Stay tuned...

We Are Incomplete Without Theaters And They Are Incomplete Without Us: Salman Khan

After holding back the release of his Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai due to the covid-19 pandemic, superstar Salman Khan is all set to give an Eid present to theaters by releasing his much-awaited, an out and out mass entertainer, Radhe this Eid. The actor also said that his three films are ready for release but admit the scene is rather bleak for the traditional big-screen exhibitors right now.## "There are three films of mine that are ready for release, and the problem with single-screen theatres is that there are very few films being released over there", said Salman, while interacting with the media at the launch of the Indian Pro Music League in Mumbai.## "Nowadays, there is a kabristan (graveyard) kind of feel to single-screen theatres, as no one goes there to watch films. Obviously, the people who own these have no other option than running them, and there are so many theatres that have shut down due to financial reasons. I feel it is not a good sign. We are in the profession of acting, so we make films. But where should we release them?" he said.## "It's a catch-22 situation as we are incomplete without them (theatre owners) and they are incomplete without us. I have a good hold over single-screen theatres, so they (theatre owners) requested me to release 'Radhe' in single screen theatres", added Salman. ## ICYDK, a couple of weeks ago, Salman had released a statement regarding the theatrical release of Radhe and confirmed Eid release. His assurance came after Cinema Associations had urged him to release his Radhe only in theaters to give a much-needed boost to the single screen cinemas which are suffering the most due to the covid-19 situation. ## "Covid-19 is still there, so we have requested theatre owners to follow safety precautions while screening films so that no one gets infected. The younger generation is surviving this period, so the problem is not about the younger generation but we have to take care of our parents and grandparents. If they get infected because of us, then we will feel the guilt for our lifetime, so that is the only thing we have to be careful about", he said.## "Now the vaccination drive has also started, so we are going towards a safe zone. I hope and pray that 2021 and 2022 will be better than 2020 for all of us and we will make growth in our lives", he added.## Apart from Radhe, Salman Khan will be starring in Antim, Tiger 3, Kick 2, and Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. He also reportedly has a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan come back movie, tentatively titled Pathan. ## Stay tuned...
