Netizens Started Petition To Boycott Karan, Salman And YRF. Here Is How You Can Support It

The whole nation is finding it difficult to believe that the talented actor Sushant Singh Rajput has left all of us and we won’t be able to see him anymore. He was just a 34 years old youngster who wanted to fulfill his dreams. The actor who could have ruled Bollywood took the decision of ending his life. This horrific incident took place on Sunday and on Monday, Sushant’s last rites were carried out in Mumbai. The Kedarnath actor was suffering from depression and was visibly disturbed from few days, as per the domestic help.

The debate on nepotism once again started after Sushant’s demise. There were some reports according to which the Kai Po Che star was banned by some big production houses as well as producers such as Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra, Salman Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, etc. Some clips of old videos are also going viral in which A-listers or the star kids are seen making fun of Sushant in a talk show or at other events.

Social media users are quite outraged and very angry with the bigwigs of the industry. Many people are demanding that movies of Karan Johar, Salman Khan, Bhansali, YRF, etc. should be boycotted in order to teach them a lesson.

Petition to boycott Salman Khan, YRF and Karan Johar is going viral

A campaign has been started on change.org in which people have to sign a petition for boycotting the movies of Karan Johar, YRF films, Salman Khan. Earlier the target of 3 lakh signatures was kept, later it was increased to 5 lakhs and then to 10 lakh. While writing this article the count of signatures has crossed 34 lakh and the target has been renewed at 45 lakh.

The petition was started by a woman named Jayshree Srikanth who is a Bollywood choreographer, Artistic director and an RJ by profession. She is basically from Kenya but lives in Princeton, New Jersey. The count of signatures is increasing at a very high speed as more than 34 lakh people have signed the petition till we write this. Just to inform, the petition was started at 6:47 am on 16th June.

The caption of petition reads,

“We the people want to collectively raise our voice against the practice of nepotism in the Indian cinema (“Bollywood”), which has increasingly become a brutal reality. Bollywood is not an oligarchy (ruled by the few) but is a democracy. In this petition, we ask popular streaming companies such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hot star to immediately stop promoting movies generated by the above mentioned media houses. These are not movies, these are platforms to launch children of famous movie stars. These are not movies, there is evidence that nepotism is running rampant in the industry.”

Jay Shree has also taken to Facebook and asked her friends and followers to sign the petition and get 2 Million signatures so that such type of incidents are not repeated again.

The protest is not limited to social media only as the people of Patna from where Sushant belonged have burnt effigies of Karan Johar and Salman Khan. They have also taken a pledge that they would not let their movies release in the city.
