The trend of boycotts is not new these days. Recently, we saw the boycott of Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan. And now Taapsee Pannu starrer Dobaaraa, directed by Anurag Kashyap, has become a victim of the same.
Yes, you read that right. In a recent interview, Taapsee and Anurag requested people to boycott their film Dobaaraa. Anurag Kashyap told, "I am feeling left out. Even I want ki meri film boycott karo...please make our film trend on Twitter by boycotting." Adding to this, Taapsee Pannu said, "Yes please boycott Dobaaraa trend karva do...we also want to trend on Twitter."
