Shah Rukh Khan’s fans took to Twitter and showed their support for his upcoming movie Pathaan after a certain section of Twitter called for the film’s boycott. On Tuesday, an old video interview of SRK allegedly talking about “growing intolerance,” resurfaced on social media. As soon as the video went viral, hashtag ‘boycott Pathaan movie’ started trending on Twitter.
In the video, when SRK was asked if he believed there was a growing intolerance, the actor said, “I mean just for the symbolic gesture, yes, if I have to. But there is intolerance. There’s extreme intolerance. I think there’s growing intolerance.” Although we couldn’t confirm the authenticity of the video and whether or not it was edited out.
A user shared the video and wrote: “If India is an Intolerant Country, Then Why #ShahRukhKhan Is Still Living Here #BoycottPathanMovie?” Another one tweeted: “The game is over for Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Badshah, Perfectionist etc. They have earned more than enough money, their stardom is decreasing day by day.”
