Kesari 2 Press Meet: Akshay Kumar Responds to Jaya Bachchan’s Remarks on Toilet – Ek Prem Katha
At a recent press conference for Kesari 2 held in an aesthetically pleasing cinema hall in Mumbai, stars Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday, producers Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta, along with director Karan Singh Tyagi, gathered to discuss the film. During the event, Akshay was asked about Jaya Bachchan’s recent remarks regarding his critically acclaimed and commercially successful film, Toilet – Ek Prem Katha (2017).
A journalist initially inquired about the criticism Akshay has faced for his film choices, mentioning feedback from both netizens and industry insiders, without naming Jaya Bachchan. Akshay responded confidently, saying, “I don’t think anyone has criticized my films. Koi bewakoof hi hoga who’ll criticize a film like Pad Man, Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, Airlift, Kesari, Kesari 2, etc. I made these films from my heart. They educate people about numerous important issues.
”Once the journalist clarified that he was referring to Jaya Bachchan’s comments, Akshay replied, “Agar unhone kaha hai toh sahi hoga. If I have done something wrong by making Toilet – Ek Prem Katha and if she feels so, toh sahi hoga.”Jaya Bachchan had criticized the film, stating, “Abhi aap naam bhi dekhiye toh mai aise picturein kabhi na dekhu. Toilet – Ek Prem Katha, yeh koi naam hai? Yeh koi title hai? Please bataiye aap logo me se kitne log is tarah ki title wali film dekhne jayenge.
”Additionally, Akshay addressed comments made by Caroline Dyer, the great-granddaughter of General Reginald Dyer, who oversaw the British troops during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He stated, “One nation’s trauma is another nation’s lesson. She never understood it. She kept saying, ‘History hai, bhool jao, khatam karo.’ I don’t think she understands the lessons we have learned.”He emphasized, “By the time this film reaches the climax, you’ll understand the extent of anger surrounding this event. I encourage everyone to watch the film to truly feel that anger.”Kesari 2 is set to release in cinemas on April 18.
