The Telugu film Laila is in the middle of a heated controversy, leading to a widespread Laila Boycott movement. The film, starring Vishwak Sen, was set for an exciting release, but things took a turn when actor Prudhvi Raj made controversial comments at a pre-release event.
His remarks, seen as politically charged, sparked outrage, especially among YSR Congress Party supporters. This led to an online campaign urging people to boycott the film.
Social Media Sparks the Laila Boycott
Soon after, the hashtag #BoycottLaila started trending across platforms. Many users criticized Prudhvi Raj’s statements, calling for action against the film. Others argued that an entire movie shouldn’t suffer due to one person’s comments.
Despite the backlash, Vishwak Sen and the film’s producer, Sahu Garapati, issued clarifications. Sen even apologized, stating that the team never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
Will the Controversy Affect the Film’s Success?
With social media influencing public perception, the Laila Boycott could impact its box office collection. Some believe the controversy might increase curiosity and draw more viewers, while others think it could hurt ticket sales.
Only time will tell if Laila overcomes this storm or faces a tough road ahead.
