However, much to the surprise of one and all, the #KeralaBoycottLEO hashtag is trending on X . This was started by the fans of Mohanlal after the Malayalam superstar was targeted by Vijay fans for no reason.
After the news became viral, social media was flooded with posts and memes by Mohanlal fans who were expressing their disappointment.
Now, what’s more interesting is that there was no provocation for Vijay fans on this issue. In fact, Mohanlal and Vijay earlier worked together in 2018 for Jilla which was a commercial success.
As a reply to #KeralaBoycottLEO, a new hashtag appeared on social media welcoming Leo. The #കേരളWelcomesLeoROAR (#KeralaWelcomesLeoRoar) hashtag was started by Vijay’s fans in Kerala to retaliate against Mohanlal’s fans.
