Cancel Culture Haunts Vijay Deverakonda’s Upcoming Liger Movie

First ‘Lal Singh Chhadha’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Dobaaraa’ and now ‘Liger’ seem to be on the chopping block of the cancel culture. As Vijay Deverakonda is aggressively promoting his upcoming sports drama titled ‘Liger’ in different cities, the call to boycott Deverakonda’s movie is gaining momentum on social media. Ahead of its release on August 25, #BoycottLigerMovie has started trending on Twitter. 

The promoters of ‘Boycott Liger Movie’ trend on social media claim that since Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar is involved in this project, therefore, people should not watch Liger movie. The sports drama movie Liger is being produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, directed by Puri Jagannadh and also starring Ananya Panday in the lead. 

Vijay Deverakonda’s recent statement in support of Aamir Khan’s ‘Lal Singh Chhadha’, which fell victim to the cancel culture is also one of the reasons netizens seem to be angry with the Telugu actor. Take a look at some of the user's reactions who call for boycotting the 'Liger' movie. 

It's another Boycott of Bollywood movie Liger which is produced by Karan Johar production.

There was a time when South Indian movie industries (Tollywood, Kollywood & Mollywood) used to be self sufficient without Bollywood. They used to create impact without Bollywood. But it seems that now they cannot do anything without Bollywood. #BoycottLigerMovie #BoycottBollywood pic.twitter.com/SCNHG39AND
