Highlights

- Deepika Padukone was not aware of JNU politics?
- Vivek said that Deepika Padukone’s PR had missed her.
New Delhi. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri recently talked about Deepika Padukone going to Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2020. She said that perhaps Deepika did not know what she was joining, when she took part in a performance of students in JNU a few days before the release of her film Chhapak in 2020. When the masked goons beat up the students on the campus, Deepika stood quietly and expressed support for the students who were protesting.
Did Deepika Padukone fool?
Vivek Agnihotri said that I can say with a guarantee that when Deepika went there, she had no information about the politics of JNU. When asked if he was saying that Deepika is a fool, Vivek replied, ‘This is not a fool. But PR may have told him that this film is a good opportunity to promote, because this university is related to politics and the film is also based on a political issue. If she had the right information, she would never go there.
Vivek said- will burn only after playing with fire
When Vivek was told that Deepika is still facing criticism for that stand, she replied, ‘If you play with fire, you will burn. He said, ‘I do not know them personally, so cannot say what their ideology is. But I definitely know that she is a very smart woman. If they had known that this is politically a sensitive place and it could have an impact on their career, then she would not decide to go there.
Deepika Padukone’s mistake made from PR
Vivek Agnihotri further said, ‘During the film promotion, a lot of instructions are given to the stars, what to do, whom to talk to. His PR must have made a mistake. He understood that this is an event. But that was not an ordinary event.
Chhapak film’s business had an impact
Meghna Gulzar directed ‘Chhapak’ is Deepika Padukone’s last film, in which she played the lead role. After this, she appeared in supporting roles in many big budget films. Two years ago, Meghna Gulzar in The Indian Express Adda said that it is clear that Deepika’s presence in JNU affected the film’s box office and suffered losses.
