Demonetisation: Shahid, Kareena, Deepika joins rest of B-Town to support Modi's move

November 14, 2016

Mumbai, Nov 14: Bollywood support keeps growing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation move. After the Khans, Aishwarya, Akshay and Ajay voiced their approval of Modi's move to declare Rs 500 and Rs 1000 as invalid currency, now Shahid Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Pink actor Taapsee Pannu have joined in to stand by our Prime Minister.

skdShahid said that the government's step was extremely important and rather bold.

"If we have to eliminate corruption, when it is so much, it is necessary to take a hard step. I think its still early to comment on how it'll go because there are certain practicalities attached to the change in currency notes. It is going to be difficult," said Shahid Kapoor.

Shahid agreed that people are finding it difficult to cope up with the sudden change of affairs; standing in long queues outside banks and ATMs and facing difficulties to transact cash in day-to-day life but added that the step taken by the Modi government is pointing in the right direction.

"Everybody is finding it difficult, but if it leads to less corruption, less black money, less fake money - which is also a very big issue we are facing - then I think its a bold step and in the right direction," said the Udta Punjab actor.

Shahid's ex-flame Kareena Kapoor Khan also supported the move saying, "It is a very good decision." When asked if she was having problems to exchange currency, Kareena said, "I am only carrying Rs 2000 note, I dont have Rs 500, 1000 note!"

Shahid's Padmavati co-star Deepika also hailed the demonetisation policy as an exceptional move.

Actor Tamannaah Bhatia echoed Shahid statements about the policy being aimed at the greater good.

"I know the common man is facing a lot of difficulty because of this condition but I know for a fact that it is for a good cause and eventually this will turn out to be the right thing to do. From a long run perspective this is the best thing to have happened," said Bhatia.

Aditi Rao Hydari and Pink actor Taapsee Pannu issued similar statements.

"People like vegetable vendors and others are facing inconvenience and I am trying to help them. But it is a very good step by the government," said Hydari.

Taapsee Pannu said, "People will face problems obviously, but I think it should be good for the longer run... It is like an experiment, I don't know if it will work or not but it is worth giving a shot."

Mar 11: The shooting of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai has been completed, and the film will now release on schedule.

If one recalls, the film went on the floors in the first week of November 2019 and was supposed to be Salman’s fastest completed film. However, the movie faced a variety of roadblocks — It was first to be wrapped in the first week of February, “But Salman went off to his Panvel farmhouse after the release of Dabangg 3 and spent a while there ushering in his birthday,” a source reveals.

“Then, the extension of the show Bigg Boss 13 by five weeks also turned out to be another speed breaker. Then, Salman wanted to make sure that the film was being made as good as what his audiences wanted on Eid. He made sure that his director Prabhudeva got what he wanted from the performers and didn’t want to rush him.

"Additionally, the Azerbaijan schedule of the film also got cancelled as Salman did not want to take any chances with the cast and crew with the lurking Covid 19, and rescheduled the shoot in India. This is now complete, barring any patchwork that might emerge later,” our source adds.

Radhe is slated to be an Eid release, which will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb.
