The Gadar actor represents BJP and is doing his job without making any noise. Reportedly, he is the one who took the issue of exhibitors huge loss due to restricted occupancy in theatres to the central government. As Covid-19 pandemic has already caused a lot of damage by halting movie releases, the new restrictions weren’t well-received by theatre owners and the film industry.
