Trending: The Story Behind #KeralaBoycottLEO

A trending hashtag on social media, #KeralaBoycottLEO, is gaining traction as it calls for a boycott of the upcoming Tamil film “Leo,” starring Vijay and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. This hashtag has emerged amidst a recent feud between fans of two South Indian cinema legends, Mohanlal and Vijay.

The controversy ignited when Mohanlal’s admirers criticized Vijay’s performance in their previous collaboration, “Jilla.” This critique drew ire from Vijay’s fans, sparking a heated exchange across social media platforms. In retaliation, some of Vijay’s supporters began dissecting Mohanlal’s acting prowess in various films, further intensifying the online battle.

As tensions escalated, anti-Vijay fans of Mohanlal initiated the hashtag #KeralaBoycottLEO, signaling their intent to prevent the screening of Vijay’s upcoming film in Kerala. “Leo” is a highly anticipated movie featuring an ensemble cast, including Vijay, Trisha, Priya Anand, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, and others.

It is produced by SS Lalith Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy under the banner of Seven Skins. This unexpected social media feud has added an intriguing twist to the film’s release, generating heightened curiosity and anticipation among cinema enthusiasts.
