Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, appears to have succumbed to the cancel culture yet again. Following widespread calls for a boycott of the movie since it has Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan as the leads, the Punjab screening of the movie recently came under attack. The theatrical showing of the movie in Jalandhar was attempted to be stopped by a fringe organization called Shiv Sena Hind on the grounds that it offended religious feelings. Another group, the Sikh Tal-Mel Committee, intervened to the rescue, though.
According to accounts, Shiv Sena Hind attempted to disrupt the screening of Laal Singh Chaddha, which had just been released, at the PVR Cinemas in Jalandhar's MBD Mall. The fringe organization continued by referring to Aamir Khan as an anti-Hindu and calling for a boycott of the film across the film. They demanded that the screening of the film be stopped across theatres and even submitted a letter to police regarding the same. It is being said that the letter was later given to the DCP.
On the other hand, the Shiv Sena Hind's actions were challenged by the Sikh Tal-Mel Committee, another activist organization. After learning about the activities of the fringe group, the committee members made their way to the mall, where they declared that they would not boycott the movie and would not allow anyone to prevent it from being shown in theatres.
Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan were accused of making anti-national sentiments during the recent social media trending topic "Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha." But during one of the film's events, Aamir Khan addressed the matter and expressed his anguish over how people view him as being anti-national.
In relation to Laal Singh Chaddha, the movie is an official Hindi remake of Forrest Gump and also marks the Hindi debut of Naga Chaitanya. It released on August 11, marking the occasion of Raksha Bandhan and the upcoming Independence Day of India.
