Mumbai: Rohit Shetty who had preponed the release date of his film 'Sooryavanshi' to avoid a clash with Salman Khan's 'Inshallah' has left the movie buffs upset, with many of them resorting to trending #BhagodaRohitShetty on Twitter expressing their anguish against the decision.
However, Akshay Kumar, who is starring opposite Katrina Kaif in the movie, has come out in support of Shetty and has called out his fans.
Akshay Kumar's fan has started tweeting against the filmmaker Rohit Shetty considering him as a 'Bhagoda'.
Shetty revealed his decision earlier this week which has led to negative responses from the cinegoers.
"Rohit Shetty Ne Khud Ko Aur Akshay Kumar Ko Barbad Hone Se Bacha Liya, Suryavanshi Ki Date Change Karke Par Ye Akki Fans Lutna Chahte Hai..." a user tweeted.
The other wrote, "Fans k sentiment k sath jab kheloge @akshaykumar Aise hi Negative trend hoga, BHAGODA ROHIT SHETTY."
One Akshay Kumar fan expressed his view against the director and tweeted, " Pahle hamari excitment badhao or phir ek dum kisi FAQ edx wale stardom wale chutiye se darkar apni film ki release date change kar dena. Ham rohit k against h sir we love u always. BHAGODA ROHIT SHETTY."
A meme was posted by a user which showed Rohit Shetty's picture clipped into three different charectors from the film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and captioned, "Selfish, Darkpok, Chaatu, Dalal & Above All M****d BHAGODA ROHIT SHETTY."
In response, Akshay tweeted in support of his director, "Since the past few days I've noticed certain negative trends being done by people dearest to me...you guys. I can see and understand your angst, all I can do is request you all with folded hands not to start/participate in such trends."
He concluded,"I took up Sooryavanshi with a very positive outlook, let's continue making and releasing it in the same way."
