Harmless banter on social media rubbed fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna the wrong way and they started to express their ire at Anand Mahindra, the head honcho of Mahindra group of companies. It all began this way: There is one action sequence in the recently released film Jai Simha in which Nandamuri Balakrishna lifts a Bolero vehicle with one hand. The video went viral and one person shared it with
Anand Mahindra on Twitter saying, “@anandmahindra, Sir, this is worth to be in your collection.
Pls do watch this. #Bolero is literally trending in Telugu Speaking states.” Incidentally, Bolero is made by the Mahindra group. Responding to this, Anand Mahindra said in a lighter vein, “Haha. Now all our service workshops won’t need any hydraulic lifts anymore to do Bolero check-ups!!”
However, fans refused to take this sportingly and immediately started trolling Mahindra with the following hashtags: - #BoycottMahindra & #BanMahindra.
Directed by KS Ravi Kumar and starring Balakrishna and
Nayanthara in the lead, Jai Simha is directed by KS Ravi Kumar.
