In his speech at the Kolkata International Film Festival on Thursday, Shah Rukh Khan addressed the negativity on social media.

Shahrukh's film Pathaan is currently facing boycott calls on Twitter.

Without mentioning Pathaan, Shah Rukh addressed the ‘narrowness of view’ on social media and even challenged those with negative mindsets.

“The collective narratives of our times are shaped by social media. Contrary to the belief that the spread of social media will affect cinema negatively, I believe cinema has an even more important role to play now.
