Sadak 2 trailer becomes third most disliked video in the world

After Janhvi Kapoor's Gunjan Saxena, Alia Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt starrer Sadak 2 is facing serious online pushback. With 9.04 million dislikes, the trailer of Sadak 2 stands at number three as the most disliked video on YouTube.

Mumbai:Sadak 2 trailer is the third most disliked video in the world and the most disliked YouTube video in India.

Sadak 2 got 9.04 million dislikes following 11.6 million dislikes for pop star Justin Bieber's 2010 song Baby and the highest 18.2 million (dislikes) for a video posted by YouTube itself, a rewind of the year 2018, according to a web portal's Data Intelligence Unit (DIU), reports suggest.

Released on August 12, the trailer of Sadak 2 has been trolled by many netizens as it is seen by people as a shining example of Bollywood nepotism -- a topic which became the talk of the town after actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death in June.

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's movie stars his daughters Pooja and Alia Bhatt along with Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur, youngest brother of producer Siddharth Roy Kapur.

In July, the Nepometer, an app created by Sushant's family, had rated Sadak 2 as 98 per cent nepotistic. Fans of the late Bollywood actor have been actively campaigning on social media for the past few weeks urging everyone to boycott Sadak 2.

Sadak 2 is a sequel of Mahesh Bhatt's 1991 movie Sadak and marks his return to direction after many years. The film will be released on August 28 on Hotstar.
