On Wednesday, soon after a yet-untitled cross-border love story featuring Arjun Kapoor was announced, Twitter was flooded with memes and trolls targeting the actor. As a result, his name started to trend on Twitter. Arjun has been a favourite target of memers and has lately been attacked on social media along with other star kids, as a conversation on Bollywood nepotism reopened after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
"#ArjunKapoor It takes guts to cast someone like Arjun Kapoor after what all has just happened. Either the producer is Dumb/ Overconfident Whatever may be the case it will be a Massive Disaster like his previous films. Time'up now for such Nepo Products supported by Bollywood Mafia," tweeted a user.
