Why Sadak 2 trailer got dislikes
Ahead of Sadak 2 trailer release, numerous netizens had taken to social media and had started trending #BoycottSadak2. The trailer has received over 6.1 million dislikes and only 336k likes. Netizens tweeted that they would dislike the trailer and show the filmmakers that they do not wish to see movies of certain actors and directors.
Another reason why Sadak 2 trailer received so many dislikes was that users wanted to show their support to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput who was found dead in his apartment on June 14. Mahesh Bhatt had allegedly given some statements about the late actor which fans did not take in a good light. The tragic loss of Sushant Singh Rajput had brought back into light the debate on nepotism and how the industry favours star kids.
It also brought to light how star kids are favoured over 'talented' outsiders who have no 'Godfather' in the Bollywood industry. Which left the netizens outraged and they decided to boycott films which showed only star kids. Netizens also wanted to boycott films which were produced by big banners who were alleged to have given actor Sushant Singh Rajput a 'systematic mental breakdown' by sidelining him and manipulating others in the industry to not give him work.
