Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Good Luck Jerry shoot halted again by protesting farmers

Janhvi Kapoor

Shooting of Janhvi Kapoor's upcoming film, Good Luck Jerry was disrupted after a group of farmers held a protest in Punjab. The incident took place near Civil Lines on Saturday when protesting farmers opposed the filming of the movie. Shouting slogans against Bollywood, protesters lamented that "no actor" extended support to farmers' agitation against the Centre's three farm laws.

"We are telling the film industry, which is holding its shooting in Punjab, to at least speak in favour of farmers who are agitating against the legislations," said a protester, Rajwant Singh Sandhu. Another protester said, "We are opposing Bollywood actors for not extending support to farmers."

They also slammed the Centre for imposing "black laws" on the farming community. Some farmers held protest outside the hotel where the film's crew is staying. A police official said the protests were peaceful. Earlier this month, shooting of Good Luck Jerry had briefly come to a halt at Bassi Pathana in Fatehgarh Sahib after a group of farmers had insisted that Kapoor make a comment on the ongoing farmers' protest.

Following the incident, the Dhadak actor shared an Instagram Story in support of the farmers. "Farmers are at the heart of our country. I recognise and value the role that they play in feeding our nation. I hope a resolution is reached soon that benefits the farmers," Kapoor had written. Farmers from Punjab and Haryana have been camping at Delhi's borders for several weeks, demanding the repeal of the farm laws and a legal guarantee on the minimum support price for crops.
