Actor Prakash Raj, known for speaking his mind, stated at the Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters in Kerala that calls to ban Shah Rukh Khan's film "Pathaan" are just "barking" and will not succeed.
Raj pointed out the success of "Pathaan" with Rs 700 crore in box office revenue, compared to the failure of the film "PM Narendra Modi" which only earned Rs 30 crore.
At the event, Raj said, “They wanted to ban Pathaan. It’s doing Rs 700 crore. These idiots, bigots…who wanted to ban Pathaan, did not run Modi’s film (PM Narendra Modi) for Rs 30 crore. They are just you know… barking, won’t bite. Sound pollution.”
He then criticised Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files saying, “Kashmir Files is one of the nonsense films, but we know who produced it. Shameless. International jury spits on them. The director is asking why am I not getting Oscar. He will not even get a Bhaskar. I tell you because there is a sensitive media out there. Here you can do a propaganda film. According to my sources. they have invested around Rs 2000 crore to only make films like this. But you can’t fool people all the time.”
