Amid #BoycottBrahmastra trend, netizens request SS Rajamouli to not promote Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor's film

Hindi films, these days, are suffering at the box office due to the Boycott Bollywood trend.  Recent releases including Laal Singh Chaddha featuring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Raksha Bandhan featuring Akshay Kumar, and Dobaaraa featuring Taapsee failed to impress netizens.

Now Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s film Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji, will be released on September 9. The cast of the film is trying their best to make it a super hit film. RRR director SS Rajamouli is also promoting the film. On Friday, he was seen at the film’s promotional event in Hyderabad.

Rajamouli also shares the details about Brahmastra on social media and asks his fans to watch the film. However, a section of people who are boycotting the film has requested the RRR director to not promote Brahmastra.
