Guess Who: Actor Asked To Refrain From Expressing His Opinion

Rajeev Masand has published a blind item about an actor who has been asked to refrain from expressing his political opinions by his producer-co-star.

This movie which plays to the gallery as far as right wing audiences are concerned, is a blockbuster. it is raking in the moolah at the box office. So obviously the producer-hero of the film doesn’t want his profits to dwindle thanks to foolish comments made by his co-star. The actor mentioned in the blind item plays the villain & has earned rave reviews for his performance. He has aced the role of a menacing, sadist general. We have been receiving whatsapp forwards from right wing leaning friends about how the villain’s grand father too sided with the enemy for real, a few centuries back. Turns out the grandpa was handsomely rewarded for it. Such info is good for the film, considering he plays the villain & gets killed in the end, no? But looks like the producer wants to play it safe.

The producer-star of the film, must be relieved that the movie has done blockbuster business. There were rumors that he was short on cash, while the movie was being made. It was rumored that his wife had to bail him out.

We read about the villain & his wife’s net worth online. If the article is to be believed the couple is filthy rich. His palace alone is worth 750cr+. Turns out his begum owns a lot of property herself. We are not surprised, considering how she makes her husband spend for everything, despite her earning millions. All her money gets invested, while the husband is going broke paying her bills. A source tells us that this is all her mother’s upbringing. They are ruthless when it comes to money.

Blind Item

An actor who earned praise for his performance in a big-budget epic recently received an angry call from his producer/co-star who was not pleased with his candid and public admissions regarding the film’s ‘authenticity’. The producer-star reportedly asked the actor to refrain from expressing his opinion because it could be used—and in fact, was already being used—to undermine the film “and to further a political narrative”. The actor, in turn, politely promised not to speak any more on the subject.

The film, which is a big box-office smash, has been accused by its critics of distorting history and has been singled out for its ‘problematic politics’. The makers have insisted that the film is factually correct, and as it turns out, the film’s blockbuster success has suggested that the audience couldn’t care less, either way. In that scenario, the producer-star would rather that his co-actor not upset the apple cart by weighing in with his own opinion, especially when it is critical of what the film is saying.
