Amid the ongoing boycott calls against Bollywood, some social media users on Twitter were spotted using the hashtag ‘boycott Brahmastra’ and accused Ranbir Kapoor for hurting sentiments. In Brahmastra, Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Shiva, the agni astra in India’s own cinematic universe-the Astraverse. Alia Bhatt stars as his love interest, Isha. It also has Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy.

Brahmastra will release on September 9 in theatres after several delays. Besides this, movies like Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan have faced boycott trends on social media.
