FWICE condemn boycott Bollywood trend

FWICE issues strong statement against Boycott Bollywood trend

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) condemned the ongoing #BoycottBollywood trend on social media and extended their support to the producers who are creating and generating employment for lakhs of people.

The excerpt of their statement read, “The recent trend of #BoyvottBollywood has been affecting the producers and lakhs of workers working for the films and it has been seriously noted by the FWICE as it has raised a major situation of survival of the common workers, technicians, and the artists who are earning their daily bread from this industry.”

“It is easy for people to boycott a film but what about the producer who has invested hugely in making of the film. A film is made with a passion and a dream of success. However, these blooming dreams get shattered with such trends which are many times influenced by people believing in hatred and those who do not support peace, harmony, and unity.”

It also stated that people have been barging into the theatres and threatening the public and forcefully vacating the theatres. It further said that there have been threats to the producers and the lead actors and are abused on social media with “filthy and vulgar language”.

The statement further read, ” We strongly condemn these acts and the boycotting of any film which is already certified by the final cell of the Film authorities which is CBFC.”

“The protestors of the film should thus follow the right channel and report their grievances against the film to the CBFC and other governing authorities rather than blindly coming up with such destructive trend to blatantly boycott the entire industry.”
