The actor has allegedly been expelled out from the industry by the filmmakers and from their projects too for his comments on the film industry.
While he spoke to ANI on Saturday,
The Gorakhpur MP said that he is unfazed by the threats on his life and that he will give appropriate responses to his critics and the haters at the right time.
Ravi Kishan also spoke about his ‘cancelled’ projects and revealed all of it saying that –
“the dates were finalized but suddenly I have been informed that the films won’t be produced. I haven’t probed into the exact reason for this but it is weird that I have lost two projects in a day. One was a web series and another was a film project.”
Ravi Kishan also declared that he is ready to sacrifice his own luxuries and his life for the country’s welfare stating that he has raised his voice for the development and betterment of the country’s youth, their healthy lives and the future of them including the future of the film industry in India.
The actor added to it saying that he didn’t think about his own life while talking about the country’s future in the recently concluded Monsoon Session of the Parliament. Further, he claimed that he would take 2-5 bullets for the country’s future, if a threatening situation unfortunately arises.
He also raised the issue of ‘drug addiction’ in Bollywood while praising the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) which has launched a massive crackdown on a drug racket linked to the film industry.
He said –
“I want to bring an important issue to the notice of all the MPs. The problem of drug trafficking/addiction is on a rise in our country and a conspiracy is being hatched to destroy the country’s youth. Our neighbouring countries are contributing as the smuggling of drugs from Pakistan and China is done every year via Punjab and Nepal.”
“Drug addiction is in the film industry too. Several people have been apprehended and the NCB is doing very good work. I urge the central government to take strict action, apprehend the culprits soon, give them befitting punishment and bring an end to conspiracy of neighbouring countries,” the Gorakhpur MP stated.
