Pallavi Joshi reacts to the arguments against the boycott trend, says it doesn't affect poor technicians

The hashtag ‘Boycott Bollywood’ has been trending on Twitter over the last few months and many big-ticket films have faced boycott calls. Now, ‘The Kashmir Files’ actor Pallavi Joshi has weighed in on the statements that the ongoing cancel culture is impacting poor technicians. Disagreeing with the claims, the actor said that everyone involved in the film usually gets paid as long as the film goes into production.
In an interview with 'Hindustan Times', Pallavi Joshi said, 'Let me tell you one thing-no matter what happens, there won’t be a scenario where films will not be made. As long as films are made, people will get paid unless, of course, there is a pandemic again where everything comes to a standstill. But that is nature. But the film industry won’t be put under a lock and key. That’s a very Utopian thought. It hasn’t happened and will never happen.'
She added, 'To actually say that think about those 250 people who work on our films and what about their livelihood is a wrong argument. They have already been paid. After the release, it’s only the producer, the distributor, and the exhibitor that get stuck. Actors, technicians, all the daily wage workers have been paid by then.'
Pallavi Joshi was seen in 'The Kashmir Files', the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, directed by her husband Vivek Agnihotri. The film was centered around the 1990s exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. The film featured Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, and Darshan Kumar in prominent roles.
