‘Desh se badhkar kuch nahi’: Twitterati trend 'Boycott Mirzapur 2'; here's why Ali Fazal is being called out
Ali Fazal is being called out by the netizens after 'Mirzapur 2' release date has been announced.
Still from 'Mirzapur'
Earlier this week, the makers of Mirzapur 2 dropped a teaser announcing the much-awaited streaming date for the show. The first season of the crime thriller show streamed in 2018 and since then fans were impatient for the second season. They have been sharing memes, urging the makers to release the season soon so that they can binge-watch the show once again. But there are a few netizens who want to boycott Mirzapur 2 now.
It so happened that the lead actor of the show, Ali Fazal's tweets from December 2019, during the CAA NRC protests have been surfaced again and people are citing that the actor ignited mobs. One of the tweets of Ali read as "Protests: Suru Majboori Mein Kiye Thhey, Ab Maja Aa Raha Hai!!!" This hasn't gone well with the Twitterati who wants to boycott the show. A Twitter user going by the name '@saumyakumary' had written a note stating wherein she asked people three counter questions in relation to banning Mirzapur due to Ali.
