Trolls on Twitter trend #BoycottThappad, calling a ban over Taapsee Pannu’s film for her involvement in anti-CAA protests

Taapsee Pannu has always been very outspoken on social media and seems like her choices have landed her next release ‘

Thappad

’ in a soup. Netizens have been trending #BoycottThappad on social media, calling a ban over the film for the leading lady, Taapsee’s involvement in an anti-CAA protest. The actress had joined a peaceful protest at Carter Road in Mumbai, supporting students of Jawaharlal Nehru University in January, who were attacked by a masked mob in January. Twitter trolls compared her move to that of Deepika Padukone, who stood in solidarity with the students in Delhi.








While speaking about CAA, Taapsee had told IANS, "I haven't expressed my views on CAA because I haven't studied about it. But the visuals which I saw in Jamia, I didn't feel those were pleasant. I felt really sad when I saw the videos where students were talking about their plight. I feel something big has happened or something big is going to happen.”

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, ‘Thappad’ also features Dia Mirza and Pavail Gulati in pivotal roles. The film is scheduled to hit the screens on February 28.
