Vivek Oberoi who will be playing the role of our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his upcoming biopic film, lashes out at the whole Bollywood industry and says that it's easy to take selfies and all, but they fail to extend their support for the film; Read deets below

One must be living under a rock if they are not known to the controversies that the Vivek Oberoi’s Narendra Modi biopic is facing these days. The film, that was supposed to be released on April 5th, has now been postponed further in order to clear the film from all sorts of troubles. Furious Vivek Oberoi is fighting back the allegations against the film, right from the time it has been announced. From being called Bharatiya Janata Party’s stooge, to being called out for promoting one sided view of the Indian politics, Vivek has been giving it back fearlessly.

And now the actor has lashed out at his fellow Bollywood mates for not raising their voices for the films that face troubles before their release. In an interview with Zoom TV, the actor was quoted as saying, “I feel we are not a united industry. I feel when a Padmavat gets stuck and a legend like Sanjay Bhansali is mistreated and misbehaved with, we should all unite together. I feel if My Name Is Khan gets stuck, we should come together to make sure it doesn't get stuck. It's easy to post selfies with Prime Minister and stuff like that. As an industry, we need to stand together. Around 600 artistes right now are saying that BJP shouldn't come back, let's all get together. I respect that, they have all rights to do that. But I also expect from these people, people like Anurag Kashyap, who, during the Udta Punjab's release, which was during the Punjab elections, was fighting for his right to release it and got it released. And I am happy, that is the sign of democracy. But, all these people who are otherwise so vocal on everything, nobody came out in support of our film. This is happening to our film and they trying to ban our film. Not one word, not one tweet. That, to me, is not fair. That is not being honest to their own principle. That is a double standard.”

Vivek Oberoi was last seen in the 2017 film Bank Chor that failed to impress the audiences at large. The actor has his hopes high from his first biopic film and too when he's portraying none other than the Prime Minister of the country. The film that was stopped from releasing on April 5th, will now be hitting the screen on 11th April after it was cleared by the apex court of the country.
