Before
Aamir
Khan's
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
hit
the
theatrical
screens,
the
film
stirred
up
a
controversy
when
social
media
was
abuzz
with
boycott
calls
against
it.
More
recently,
a
Delhi-based
lawyer
registered
a
police
complaint
against
Aamir
and
the
makers
for
allegedly
'disrespecting'
the
Indian
army
and
hurting
sentiments
with
a
particular
sequence
in
the
film.
Now,
producer
Ekta
Kapoor
has
responded
to
calls
for
boycott
against
Aamir
Khan's
film
in
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
publication.
Calling
the
superstar
a
'legend',
she
said
that
it's
strange
that
the
very
people
who
have
given
the
best
of
business
in
the
industry
are
being
boycotted.
Ekta
told
Navbharat
Times,
"It
is
so
strange
we
are
boycotting
the
very
people
who
have
given
the
best
of
business
in
the
industry.
All
the
Khans
in
the
industry
(Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan),
and
especially
Aamir
Khan
are
legends.
We
cannot
boycott
them.
Aamir
Khan
can
never
be
boycotted,
the
soft
ambassador
Aamir
Khan
can
not
be
boycotted."
Prior
the
film's
release,
Aamir
Khan
at
a
press
conference,
had
reacted
to
the
boycott
calls
against
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.

The
actor
had
said
that
he
regretted
if
he
has
hurt
anyone
'by
any
means'.
He
had
added
that
while
he
would
respect
the
sentiments
if
someone
doesn't
watch
the
film,
he
would
love
it
if
people
watch
his
film
and
like
it
as
many
people
have
worked
hard
for
it.
