Akshay Kumar reacts to boycott 'Raksha Bandhan', 'Laal Singh Chaddha' trend

Bollywood is gearing up for two big releases this week. Akshay Kumar's 'Raksha Bandhan' and Aamir Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. Both films are touted as big-budget films and stakes are high on both as these films feature A-list superstars who manage to pull in the crowd with their films. While the buzz on both the films is high, there is also a certain section on social media which has trolled both films, demanding a boycott of them.

'Raksha Bandhan' and 'Laal Singh Chaddha' faced the boycott trend on social media with trolls claiming that the people involved in both films have in the past made anti-national comments.

Reacting to the particular interview, Twitter users have been putting up posts using hashtags such as #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha and #Boycottaamirkhan. The trolls also dug up when Aamir met Turkey's First Lady Emine Erdogan while he was shooting for 'Laal Singh Chaddha' there.
