'Boycott Bollywood' can't affect technicians: The Kashmir Files' Pallavi Joshi

Hindustan Times  

The year 2022 has seen a number of trends in the entertainment world. While actors and filmmakers have urged people not to boycott their films without watching, some have even argued that such boycott affects the thousands of poor technicians and crew members too. Pallavi Joshi, whose film The Kashmir Files is the highest-grossing Hindi film this year, says the argument is incorrect. Speaking with Hindustan Times, Pallavi Joshi reacts to the arguments against the boycott trend and says, “Let me tell you one thing--no matter what happens, there won’t be a scenario where films will not be made. It hasn’t happened and will never happen.” Talking about the argument that non-performance of films affects the technicians and crew members, Pallavi says, “To actually say that think about those 250 people who work on our films and what about their livelihood is a wrong argument.
