Why is #BoycottBrahmastra trending? Netizens upset with Ranbir Kapoor for this reason
Brahmastra’s trailer was released yesterday. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy star in crucial parts in the film. Shah Rukh Khan is slated to make a cameo appearance in the film. While the trailer received great feedback, the hashtag ‘#BoycottBrahmastra’ began trending on Twitter within hours.
The Brahmastra trailer features the megastars in a never seen visually dynamic avatar. What has grabbed the attention of many has been the amazing visual effects of the film. Soon after the release, the trailer of the film has taken over the internet by storm with the dynamic VFX which is all praise.
But with good comes the bad, as now some Twitter users have urged the masses to boycott the film due to varied reasons. While this is not the first time that netizens have started the boycott trend, as earlier during the trailer release of Aamir Khan’s film Laal Singh Chaddha and Prithviraj the netizens were seen promoting the same trend over the internet.
The film’s crew is receiving flak after a scene in which Ranbir Kapoor is seen wearing shoes and entering a temple. Sharing the trend a Twitter user wrote, “Entering Temple with shoes, this is what we can expect from Urduwood. Bollywood never misses a chance to hurt our sentiments towards Sanatana Dharma.”, another user wrote, “Entering in the temple with shoes. Bollywood only knows to hurt our religious sentiments and mock our culture what more we can expect from them”.Take a look at the tweets here:
