He further reflected on the growing culture of paid negativity in the industry and said, “This phase is at a full extreme. Much more is left to be seen, and that too is going to happen in this phase only. So this is a strange world. I think this will remain for some time. After that, they say when bad times come, there are bad times for everything. For creativity, too, it is bad. Maybe after some years, a good time will come. People will start recognising the right things without any meaningless hatred.”
Nawazuddin added, “After some years, people may understand who is what, what is truth, what is a lie, on their own. I did not know that this phase would become so cheap for people that if I give money to 10 people and tell them to say he is a good actor, people will start believing it. Where did their own education go? Where did their ability to understand go? Yes, if I give money to 10 people and tell them you are very good, then the eleventh one himself will say it. This is weird.” He added that actors like him do not need such tactics, as they have confidence in their craft and work.
Earlier this year, when Border 2 was gearing up for release, Varun Dhawan faced criticism over his smile and performance based solely on the teaser. Later, an influencer claimed that several social media users were allegedly paid to speak against him. The film’s producer, Nidhi Dutta, had also criticised the trend of paid negative PR targeting the actor.About Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming film
