Speaking about the recent ‘boycott culture’ in the film industry on the latest podcast outing, the ‘Fashion’ director said, “I have noticed that this [boycott] happened largely after the passing of Sushant Singh Rajput. Maybe the industry ignored him.”

“He was from a non-film background and he came and he struggled… It was a very unfortunate, untimely demise and from there, the anger amid the public got aggravated,” Bhandarkar added. “It is the public’s opinion.”
The filmmaker further stated, “It has happened many times before. think this [boycott culture] is a phase. If the film is nice and the content is strong, people will go and watch. People watched Kantara, The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, it’s not like people don’t go to watch the movies.”
It is pertinent to mention that Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide at his Bandra home in Mumbai while living alone during the lockdown.
