Raj Kundra has been dominating all the headlines since he dropped the trailer of his biopic, UT 69. For the unversed, the businessman will make his acting debut with his biopic, which will track down his experience of his confinement days in the Arthur Road Jail. For those who don't know, Raj was taken under jail custody back in 2021 due to his alleged involvement in an adult film racket case. Raj's decision to do a film on his life experience received positive responses. However, some of the users remained unimpressed about the same and called for boycotting the film. And now, Raj Kundra reacted to the same.
Taking to X (previously, Twitter), an internet user dropped a cryptic post while asking others to boycott Raj Kundra's film, UT 69. The internet user wrote that the way Raj Kundra has insulted the dignity of women, his film should be banned. The post can be read as:
"The way this man has insulted the dignity of women, his film should be banned. Boycott this movie. Sick man."

Now, Raj Kundra took to his X (previously, Twitter) and replied to the tweet. The businessman-turned-actor wrote that while it's easy to throw stones, but one should provide the evidence to prove the statement. Mentioning that the hatred amongst the people is created by media only, Raj wrote:
"Plz do name even ONE woman who can back your claims mam. Easy to throw stones but plz back the statement with evidence. God bless you my dear. This hatred of people is only media created."
Soon after Raj Kundra announced his film, a certain section of netizens started claiming that he had been trying to polish his image that was ruined by his alleged pornography scandal. However, reacting to the same, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Raj shared that the trailer itself is proof that it's nothing like him trying to polish his image. If this had been the case, then he would never have allowed the director to say bad words against him in the film itself, as the director himself read the notes that Raj had written while inside the jail.

He shared that humour came to him automatically as back then, he felt like being caught inside the worst overcrowded notorious jails without having the least idea about its system. He also shared that when he had been writing notes during his jail stay, it felt like a dark comedy, and he laughed at it back then and even today.
