Following The Boycott Pathaan Trend On Twitter, Shah Rukh Khan Comments, “Duniya chahe kuch Bhi kar Le.”

On Thursday evening, Shah Rukh Khan attended the Kolkata International Film Festival 2022 (KIFF). During his speech at the festival’s inauguration, the actor addressed the negativity that exists on social media. The address came at an interesting time, as Shah Rukh’s upcoming film Pathaan is currently facing boycott calls on Twitter. Without mentioning Pathaan, Shah Rukh addressed the “narrowness of view” on social media and even challenged those with a pessimistic outlook. Also see: Pathaan song Besharam Rang was “shot with a dirty mindset,” according to MP minister.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee, as well as several Bollywood heavyweights such as Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji, attended the grand opening of the film festival. On the occasion, Shah Rukh delivered a speech, parts of which were shared online by the actor’s fan clubs.


In his festival speech, Shah Rukh addressed the negativity on social media. “Social media shapes our times’ collective narratives. Contrary to popular belief, I believe that the proliferation of social media has made cinema an even more important medium. Social media is frequently driven by a narrowness of perspective that confines human nature to its baser self. And it is somewhere that negativity increases social media consumption, and thus its commercial value. Such endeavours encircle the collective narrative, causing it to be divisive and destructive.”

Pathaan is a spy thriller directed by Siddharth Anand that also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The controversy arose after the release of its first song, Besharam Rang, two days ago. Madhya Pradesh minister Narottam Mishra said the song was objectionable and that the costumes were inappropriate, and that the film might not be released in the state unless they were changed. The hashtag #BoycottPathaan has been trending on the microblogging site Twitter since then. The movie will be released in theatres on January 25, 2023.
