Film shooting of the upcoming movie ‘Love Hostel’ starring Bobby Deol, Vikrant Massey, and Sanya Malhotra was stopped by a group of protesting farmers in Patiala. Farmers arrived the site when the crew of the film was setting up their equipments and asked them to leave. However, the star cast was not present during that time.
The crew soon wrapped up their equipments and left the site after farmers protest. One of the farmers who spoke to a local media channel explained that Bobby Deol who is a part of the said film is a part of the Deol family who are close to the BJP. “Bobby Deol’s brother Sunny Deol is a BJP MP, mother Hema Malini is a BJP MP and father Dharmendra is a former MP of BJP,” the farmer said.
The farmer added that the Deol family did not speak about the protest in the past two months, but were quick to tweet in the Government’s favour right after popstar Rihanna’s tweet. They also stressed on the recent tweet by Hema Malini where she commented on international celebrities tweeting on India’s internal affairs, which the farmers’ found was against them and their protest.
The farmer representative further said that they will not let any member from the Deol family shoot in Punjab and Haryana and will not let them enter their state.
In the said tweet, Hema Malini wrote, “I am intrigued by foreign celebrities to whom our glorious country, India, is just a name they have heard, boldly making statements about our internal happenings and policies! Wonder what they are trying to achieve, and more imply, who are they trying to please?”
All this did not go down well with the farmers who have been protesting at the Singhu border demanding that the BJP ruled government at the Centre repeal the newly introduced farm laws.
