Actress
Ileana
D'Cruz
today
said
it
is
nice
that
Bollywoodand
South
Indian
filmstars
have
been
invited
to
perform
at
a
mega
concert
in
the
US
to
boost
the
electoral
fortunes
of
Republican
presidential
nominee
Donald
Trump
but
maintained
she
would
not
support
his
candidature.
"Bollywood
is
known
worldwide
and
the
stars
are
very
popular
and
hence
it
is
nice
(that
the
Bollywood
stars
also
are
performing
at
the
event)," she
told
PTI
after
the
launch
of
La
Senza
store
here.
"But
if
you
are
asking
me
if
I
support
Donald
Trump?
I
don't,"
she
added.
Asked
whether
she
would
perform
at
such
electoral
campaigns
in
the
US,
she
said,
"Whenever
I
take
up
any
kind
of
endorsement
or
any
kind
of
event,
I
do
so
with
a
lot
of
background
research.
I
think,
if
it
works,
it
is
great
for
them
(those
participating)."
According
to
reports,
seven
Bollywood
and
South
Indian
actors
including
Mallaika
Arora,
Prabhu
Deva,
Shriya
Saran,
Akhil
Akkineni
and
Ram
Charan,
will
be
performing
at
the
concert
in
New
Jersey
to
give
a
legup
to
Trump's
campaign
by
reaching
out
to
the
Indian
community
to
enlist
support
for
him.
A
US-based
Republican
Hindu
Coalition
(RHC)
is
holding
the
event
on
October
15
where
Trump
will
deliver
a
keynote
address.The
proceeds
from
the
event
will
be
shared
between
Kashmiri
Pandits,
Bangladeshi
Hindus
and
other
terror
victims
in
the
recent
past,
according
to
reports.
Asked
if
it
is
the
beginning
of
a
crisis
in
Bollywood
with
Walt
Disney
reportedly
deciding
to
shut
its
Hindi
filmmaking
business
after
suffering
losses
from
Mohenjo
Daro
and
Fitoor,
Ileana
said,
"I
don't
think
there
is
a
crisis
of
any
sort
happening
in
Bollywood.
I
think
there
are
so
many
films
that
are
doingwell,
which
were
appreciated
not
only
by
the
media,
but
also
the
critics."
"Look
at
films
like
'Dhoni' and
'Pink',
they
have
done
goodbusiness.
So,
I
think
there
is
a
massive
amount
of
success,and
I
love
the
way
they
are
experimenting.
I
don't
think
there
is
a
problem
with
the
films
and
their
success
rate,"Ileana
added.
