"Industry Has No...": Suniel Shetty's Big Statement About Bollywood
Veteran actor gave a big statement about the unity within the Bollywood film industry.
90s fans unite! Some happy news awaits you! Action stars Suniel Shetty and Sanjay Dutt are all set to be a part of Star vs Food Survival's first episode. The show hosted by chef Ranveer Brar will see the two stars traversing through the untouched terrains of rural Coorg over a stretch of 15 kms. In the latest entertainment news, Suniel Shetty has described the experience as "superb".
“We form a deadly combination and it was so much fun to shoot with him. He brought along his sense of humour and that lazy swag. Both of us are also Leos and love nature. I think it was a magical time," Suniel Shetty told The Indian Express.
“Being in the terrain with so many animals, of all kinds, looking at you, there is a sense of excitement and even danger. However, being disconnected from the world was a beautiful feeling. You are not scrolling through life but enjoying every moment, experiencing every little thing. We realised that we need to do this more often,” he added.
When asked to describe his friendship with Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty said, "Not many know that the title Anna was given to me by Dutt. We were shooting for Kaante and my staff used to call me Anna, as in elder brother, and he too started doing the same. I remember we had just landed in Los Angeles when 9/11 happened. We had to stay closer to the unit, not step out. It was a tough time. We were looked at differently and it was so weird. But we stayed together and became each other’s strength. I remember how we used to share food and make memories together. These are the actors you looked up to and there’s something so special about the bond. We became part of each other’s lives and continue to be so thick.”
Suniel Shetty also said that there is a sense of disconnection between Bollywood actors and there is no unity within the fraternity.
“Today, the industry has no voice. No one stands up to the nonsense or when there are fingers pointed at us. The bond, that oneness is missing, that voice hasn’t remained. Everything’s become weak as there is no one to defend one another. But I must add that it’s coming back now. After what we went through, with all the hashtags and boycott calls, I think now it’s time that everyone stands up for one another,” he said.
“They ask them to be a specific way and post certain posts every day. The rules that they are setting up, people are believing it. But that’s not how it works. Film family is also your family, and you need to treat them like family. Earlier, we would be there for the unions and work as an association, and I am very hopeful the unity would be back soon," he added.
