Mumbai, June 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actor Akshay Kumar revealed that he is responsible for adding the line “Bhojpuri is better than hollywood-stars-hung-out-in-this-western-bar-aol-2/” title=”John Wayne And Other Old Hollywood Stars Hung Out In This Western Bar – AOL”>hollywood-veterans/” title=”Vietnam film industry poised for global breakthrough, say Hollywood veterans”>Hollywood” in ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ during an exclusive interaction with IANS
The abovementioned lines are spoken by actress Jacqueline Fernandez in the sequel
Akshay was asked if an actor like him playing a Bhojpuri star in the movie and doing a Bhojpuri song elevates the position of an industry known for objectifying women
In response, Akshay revealed that it was he who had suggested that the dialogue “Bhojpuri is better than Hollywood” be added in ‘Welcome To The Jungle’
The ‘Houseful’ actor told IANS, “In my opinion, Bhojpuri cinema, if you have seen, there is a dialogue of Jacqueline in the film that, “Bhojpuri is better than Hollywood”. I had put that dialogue. We have shown her introduction that she is coming from London, Paris, so she has seen the world, and when she saw something like this, everything shining, and this energy, dance, etc. Where will you get that Hollywood? And dance like this, dance like Bhojpuri, where will you get it? So, it is anytime better than Hollywood.”
Praising the Bhojpuri industry, Akshay went on to add, “So, according to me, Bhojpuri is right up there, and to play a Bhojpuri actor, it was an honor”
