Boycott Bollywood Trending Hashtag in Twitter
The boycott Bollywood group trageting of Aamir Khan’s upcoming film Laal Singh Chaddha is among the top trends on Twitter. More than 20 thousand people have tweeted. Most are opposed. #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha is being protested on Twitter over Aamir’s old statement.
However, after such protests, many times films become successful. Aamir Khan, who is in the lead role of the film and who is also the co-producer of the film, told PTI: They are boycotting Bollywood. Boycotting Aamir Khan. Laal Singh Chaddha is boycotting. I’m sad, Many people are saying that I am a person who does not like India, it is absolutely untrue.
Aamir said, I really love the country. I am like that. It’s unfortunate if some people feel that way. Aamir Khan asks his fans and audience to give his film a fair chance- I want to assure everyone that it is not like that, I love the country. So please don’t boycott my movies, please watch my movies.
Let us inform you that Aamir’s statement came at a time when incidents of lynching were happening in India on a daily basis and Muslims were being targeted in them. However, Kiran and Aamir’s statements were met with fierce opposition at that time.
Aamir Khan was removed from their advertisements by many companies. Even at that time, right-wing groups had campaigned for a boycott against Aamir Khan. This time also the same group is campaigning against his film. The film is not released yet, it can be released on August 11.
India, a site promoting right-wing views, wrote in the tweet – This ‘fear’ is good Aamir Khan, the earning of Bollywood’s anti-Hindu hate-national agenda. The disaster of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’: ‘Urduwood’ burning in its own fire. How did #AamirKhan suddenly fall in love with the country after the boycott of #LaalSinghChaddha.
A Twitter user named Milind Arolkar has written that from Narmada Dam to intolerance, Aamir has an entire anti-India agenda. So India is now giving its opinion on this (film) Lal Singh Chaddha.
A user named Rahul Swarnakar has advised people not to waste their money by watching the Laal Singh Chaddha movies.
Similarly, Ravindra Yadav Ravi has written – By boycotting this film, it has to be made a super flop. Well, it has that ‘PK’ radio, will keep playing it.
Like these tweets, there are thousands of such tweets whose language is indecent. In some, Amir has been abused. In some, the film’s actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was also targeted. They have objected to marrying a Muslim actor. Wrong and obscene comments have been made about his son Taimur.
