After Vidyut Jammwal, Kunal Kemmu took to his Twitter handle to pen a heartfelt message after he was snubbed from the 'BIG' OTT movie release announcement on Monday. Expressing hope and positivity after the lack of representation given at Disney+ Hotstar announcement event, Kemmu wrote a message with 'folded hands' emoji.

He wrote, "Love and respect are not demanded but earned. One doesn't become small if you don't receive that. Just give us an equal empty ground to play, we can also jump high." [sic] Kunal's wife Soha Ali Khan liked the tweet.

One user reacted on Kemmu's tweet and wrote, "It was very unfair of @DisneyplusHSVIP to not have you and Vidyut on their Multiplex announcement event. You too should get a platform to promote your movie 'Lootcase' like other actors. But stay assured that all this will change soon." The other said, "Can feel the hurt." [sic]

Superstar Akshay Kumar's 'Laxxmi Bomb', 'Sadak 2', featuring Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn's 'Bhuj: The Pride of India', Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 'The Big Bull', Vidyut Jammwal's 'Khuda Haafiz' and 'Lootcase', featuring Kunal Kemmu and Rasika Dugal, are among the Bollywood films that are headed for a direct release on streamer Disney+ Hotstar as theatres remain close due to the coronavirus pandemic.
