A few days ago, actor-director R. Parthiban was seen endorsing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence day request, of every residence hoisting the Indian National flag at their residence on August 15, 2022 and every Indian citizen changing their social media display picture to an Indian flag between August 2, 2022 and August 15, 2022. "Our Prime Minister of India has given a loving command to celebrate the 75th Independence Day..This is not a command, but our obligation.", the National award winner was seen stating in the video.

While PM Modi's request has been met with mixed reactions throughout the country, Parthiban's endorsement of the same seems to have cost him the wrath of the online. This was evident, when Parthiban took to twitter to praise Aamir Khan's latest film Lal Singh Chaddha, the official Hindi remake of 1994 acclaimed hit The Forrest Gump (English) starring Hollywood ace Tom Hanks. 

Looking at Lal singh Chaddha, I said to Aamir Khan with teary eyes, "U r just spreading LOVE through this film to a society where there's hatred and negativity". Amazing movie. Can love, commitment, affection, duty, dignity be better described in a film? This film is necessary for this country where there are people who indulge in hatred and add disgust and insult to it and make Dal Makhani.

At this point, Parthiban addresses his video about Independence day, 2022 and says that it was at the request of central-government owned Doordarshan TV channel that he made the video endorsing Prime Minister Narendra's Modi's request. He also says that if people see this as a move to secure a National Film Award, then anyone who takes the Prime Minister's name will be holding a milestone award.

"Doordarshan has requested to send a video about the Prime Minister's request for Independence Day and I did. For national award? What an artistic valuation? (sarcasm). If pronouncing the Prime Minister's name ensures a national award, then everyone in a crowd chanting "Jai to Modiji" will be given a milestone award." 

 

Lal Singh Chaddha also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan releases in theaters on August 11, 2022. Advance bookings for the Tamil dubbed version of the movie are currently open all over Tamil Nadu.

வெறுப்பை பருப்பாய் கடைந்து,அதில் அருவருப்பையும் அவமதிப்பையும் தாளித்துக் கொட்டி Dal Makhani செய்யும் சிலர் நிறைந்த இந்நாட்டிற்கு இப்படம் அவசியம்.தூர்தர்ஷனிலிருந்து சுதந்திர தினத்திற்கு பிரதமரின் கோரிக்கைப் பற்றி ஒரு வீடியோ அனுப்புங்கள் என கேட்க,நான் அனுப்ப….

தேசிய விருதுக்கா?”
என்ன ஒரு கலை மதிப்பு?
பிரதமரின் பெயரை உச்சரித்தாலே தேசிய விருதென்றால், ”மோடிஜீக்கு ஜே”என கோஷமிடும் கூட்டத்தில் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் கொடுப்பாங்களாக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு மயில் விருது. pic.twitter.com/eAS9u1yjmR
