Mumbai, August 10: As the release date for Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Chaddha is nearing, experts are saying that the boycott calls could actually be working. Social media is trending with the cast of the film appealing to audience to watch their movie and to not boycott it.
Notably, boycott calls against Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Chaddha have slowed the promotion of the movie that is the official remake of Tom Hanks’s classic Forrest Gump.
Social media posts also say that the advance booking of the movie is negligible and the movie may be looking at failure.
It is notable here that Bollywood, in general, has been suffering through a crisis lately where a number of multi-star, big-budget movies have bitten the dust in the last few months. While Telugu and Kannada movies like Pushpa, RRR, and KGF have managed to appeal to a pan-India audience, Bollywood movies have been mostly flopping.
Amidst the speculations, film critic Taran Adarsh shared that the advance bookings of Lal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan are way below expectations.
He further added that both the movies need a word of mouth and walk-in audience / spot bookings to get a decent opening on Thursday.
