Naseeruddin Shah, the finest actor in the country has recently spoken on the three pioneering Khans of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, and why they don’t speak on the important issues.
Talking to NDTV, the actor said, “They are being encouraged by the government to make pro-government films, to make films lauding the efforts of our beloved leader. They also being financed, also promised a clean chit if they make movies which are propaganda, to put it bluntly. The kind of big-budget films that are coming. The big ones cannot disguise the jingoistic agenda.”
Talking about the three Khans who don’t speak on the important issues, he said, “They (the Khans) are worried because of the harassment they will be subjected to. They have so much to lose. It will not be just financial harassment, it is not about losing an endorsement or two. It’s a question of their entire establishments getting harassed,” he said. He further said, “It is not just Javed Saab or me, it is anyone who speaks out against this right-wing mentality and it is growing on both sides.” as quoted by Bollywood Life.
