Mukesh Chhabra On Trolling, Negativity Surrounding Ramayana, Dhurandhar

Talking about massive online trolling and negativity, Mukesh Chhabra told News18, “The negativity is a bit too much these days. I don’t know ki yeh sab kaun karwaata hai, kaise karwaata hai (I don’t know who makes all this happen or how). People tend to overjudge. I don’t know why. It can happen to anyone these days. This troll culture has gained ground but I can’t really do anything to stop that. I feel bad for everyone.”

During the same conversation, Mukesh also commented on film like Ramayana and Dhurandhar being criticised by the public. Talking about a section of the audience trolling Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and nick-picking at the VFX in the Ramayana teaser, the casting director said, “The moment they see a glimpse of a film, they start reacting. But you know what’s the best part? These trolls immediately disappear the moment a film releases. I feel both bad and scared because people can say anything about anyone today.”

Noting how a similar thing happened around the time Aditya Dhar, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar released, Mukesh Chhabra said, “When Dhurandhar was about to release, there was negative chatter online but everyone believed in the film. The audience is very, very smart.”

They’ve their individual styles and processes. I really think they should do a film together. Aisa ek zabardast film banna chahiye. It will be the biggest film of the country.”
