Priyanka Chopra’s Bhojpuri film slammed by director Nitin N Chandra

Priyanka Chopra 2

Bollywood and international superstar, Priyanka Chopra may have been celebrating the release of her debut Bhojpuri production ‘Bam Bam Bol Raha Hai’ but the film seems to be drawing some flack.

Deccan Chronicle reports that the film was launched with much hype but failed to meet expectations with its “same old formula for commercial success”.

National award winning director, Nitin N Chandra said in an open letter, “At a time when my mother tongue Bhojpuri is fighting for its existence, Priyanka has not only defamed herself but also besmirched her Padma Shri award by producing a movie like this.”

Kunal Dutt took to his Facebook slamming the actress for this film, “What were you thinking while producing this filth bag? I have nothing to tell you, even after this, but I want to ask fellow Biharis, will you accept your language and culture being wounded and maimed in public like this or will you stand up and be counted? Initiate a mass boycott of this film and all future films in which Priyanka stars? I am wondering if people of Kashi would stomach this or not? I wish you had sprinkled an iota of your stardust and brand on Bihar for a positive change, it would made a huge difference. Even Bollywood has filthy item numbers which the ‘sabhya society’ of the metros also laps us as ‘mass entertainment’ but this is just plain disgusting what you have cooked in your overpriced kitchen. You have disappointed Bihar, Piggy Chops. With your wealth, brand value and intelligence (assumed), you could have done a great film on Bihar, in any language, but you chose to only lower the bar that has already hit the rock bottom. Please don’t damage us more than we already have been, ma’m. The fact that despite this sleazilla, Biharis still welcomed you with honour and grace is their large-heartedness. We wish to welcome you again, but with this venture you have left no hope and no choice but to drag you over the coal.”
