New Delhi:
Actor Rajat Kapoor was trolled on Twitter after he commented on actor Sushant Singh Rajput's looks in his latest film M S Dhoni: The Untold Story in which he plays the titular role. Mr Kapoor, whose comment was not received kindly by the Internet, later tweeted that the "lynch mobs" make it difficult to have an opinion on anything.
The actor, who was last seen in Shakun Batra's Kapoor And Sons also reposted a troll's message and said:
This was Mr Kapoor's conversation with Sushant, who plays Dhoni in the Neeraj Pandey-directed biopic, which led to the trolling:
M S Dhoni: The Untold Story, which tells the story of India's cricket captain also features Kiara Advani, Disha Patani and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles. The film released to mixed reviews last month.
Despite mixed reviews, Sushant's performance and the film in general received critical acclaim.
Sushant will be next seen in Dinesh Vijan's Raabta, co-starring Kriti Sanon. The film is produced by Homi Adajania.
They will lynch you not only for political opinions- but for having ANY opinions at all! The lynch mobs are ready and willing- for any cause
