Twitter is back to trolling and boycotting, yet another celebrity. This time, it’s director Anurag Basu, whose latest film Ludo is currently streaming on Netflix.
Anurag drew flak from the audience for allegedly making fun of Hindi Gods and culture in Ludo. In a scene from the film, Rajkummar Rao is playing the role of Surpanakha in a local Ram-Leela. And his character soon gets into a fight and abuses, while still dressed up as Surpanakha.
In another scene from the film, actors, dressed up as Gods, can be seen pushing a car which, as per Twitterati, is an attack on Hinduism. And soon, #Hinduphobic_AnuragBasu trended on Twitter:
Though social media users asked for the I&B ministry to intervene, there has been no official response from either Anurag Basu or the ministry.
