The actor said that while he is the star of Laal Singh Chaddha, there are between 2000 and 3000 other individuals who work on the production as a whole.

"When you decide to boycott a film, you are not only affecting Aamir Khan, you are affecting thousands of families who lose work and livelihoods," Vijay was quoted as saying.

The actor also said, "Aamir Sir is someone who pulls the crowd to the theatres. I am not sure why this boycott call is happening, but for whatever misunderstanding this is happening, please realize you are not affecting Aamir Khan alone but the economy. It is a much bigger picture."

For those who are unaware, the #BoycottLSC trend began after some netizens dug out Aamir's 2015 interview, in which he claimed that his then-wife Kiran Rao had urged they leave India due to the country's rising intolerance.

On the work front, apart from Karan Johar’s Liger Vijay Deverakonda will be next seen in Khushi co-starring Pushpa actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
