Did Amitabh Bachchan take a dig at boycott trend? Read his cryptic tweet

Mumbai [India], August 24: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been an avid social media user, recently posted a cryptic tweet.

The tweet read, "Kuch baatein karne ka mann karta hai, par karein toh kaise karen, har baat toh aajkal baat ban jati hai." (I feel like speaking about some things, but how to do it, everything becomes a matter these days)."

Big B's post comes amid the increasing trend of boycotting films on social media. Lately, Superstars Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' and Akshay Kumar's 'Raksha Bandhan' faced boycott trend. Both films failed to perform at the box office.

In 2015, Aamir Khan said in an interview, "Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will". His wife Kiran Rao also made headlines for saying that she considered leaving the country for the safety of their children. Reacting to the particular interview, Twitter users put up posts using hashtags such as BoycottLaalSinghChaddha and Boycottaamirkhan.

The trolls also dug up when Aamir met Turkey's First Lady Emine Erdogan while he was shooting for Laal Singh Chaddha there. Netizens were unhappy with the meeting as happened in the backdrop of Turkey's increasing anti-India and pro-Pakistan stand.

The recent social media trends have got Aamir worried that he had to request people to watch his film."That Boycott Bollywood... Boycott Aamir Khan... Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha... I feel sad also because a lot of people who are saying this in their hearts believe I am someone who doesn't like India... In their hearts, they believe that... And that's quite untrue. I really love the country... That's how I am. It is rather unfortunate that some people feel that way. I want to assure everyone that it's not the case so please don't boycott my films, please watch my films," Aamir said.

Ranbir Kapoor says he wanted to become like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan

Mumbai [India], July 1: Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have had a profound impact on Ranbir Kapoor as artists.

Ahead of the release of 'Shamshera', the makers have been releasing the episodic RK Tapes on social media and in the second episode of a three episodic candid video series titled 'RK Tapes', Ranbir talked about his favourite Hindi film heroes. In the clip, he shared that he wanted to become Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan while growing up. "Main Amitabh Bachchan banna chahta tha, jawan hua, tab Shah Rukh Khan banna tha, aur finally Ranbir Kapoor banna pada (I wanted to become Amitabh Bachchan, when I became an adult, I wanted to be Shah Rukh Khan, but finally I had to become Ranbir Kapoor)," he said. Ranbir added, "Growing up, Hindi film heroes had become the heroes of my life. Everything I did, how I dressed, how I spoke, was subconsciously inspired by my heroes. But strangely enough, when I became an actor, I wasn't choosing the kind of films my heroes would choose. So I may have satisfied the actor in me. But when I look back at the 12-year-old Hindi film-obsessed Ranbir, I feel like uska sapna abhi bhi adhoora hai (his dream is still incomplete)." Ranbir is all set to play his first double role with Shamshera, which is scheduled to release on July 22. Helmed by Karan Malhotra, 'Shamshera', which is set in the fictitious city of Kaza, stars Ranbir in the title role of a slave, who turned into a leader to save his tribe. Sanjay Dutt plays the antagonist, Daroga Shudh Singh, who tortures people. Vaani Kapoor is also a part of the film.
