Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar’s ‘Laxmmi Bomb’ is all set to release on the OTT platform ‘Disney+Hotstar’. Now that the film nears its release (November 9), netizens have been demanding a ban on the release of the film. And now, Twitterati is trending #ShameOnUAkshayKumar on the microblogging site.
Recently, an inter-faith advertisement released by Titan Ltd owned jewellery brand Tanishq had outraged netizens. A group of social media users believed that the advertisement promoted ‘Love-jihad’ and was anti-Hindu in sentiment. #Boycott Tanishq trended all day on Twitter on Monday, with many asking for a ban on the controversial advertisement.
Followed by this, now #ShameOnUAkshayKumar is trending on Twitter today as in the upcoming movie the actor has played a character of a Muslim boy, Asif and Kiara Advani will be seen as Hindu girl, Priya.
Why #ShameOnUAkshayKumar is trending on Twitter?
Netizens are urging everyone to boycott ‘Laxmmi Bomb’ for various reasons:
- Produced by a Kashmiri separatist, Shabina Khan, netizens believe that in the movie Aasif (Akshay) is possessed by the ghost of transgender Laxmi that wears a red saree & carries Trishul. The official teaser has Ma Laxmi in the backdrop. In non-ghost life, Aasif’s girlfriend is Priya. Therefore, the movie is promoting anti-nationalism and love-jihad.
- Some people believe Akshay’s film must be boycotted as the title of the movie is mocking Goddess Lakshmi.
- A section of social media also believes that Akshay Kumar with his stint in his upcoming movie has mocked Hindutva.
- On October 3, Akshay Kumar shared a video on his Twitter account breaking his silence against the rampant allegations of drug abuse in Bollywood. What followed was the Twitteratis trending #BanLaxmmiBomb and requesting the audience to boycott his movie.
Laxmmi Bomb was even downranked on IMDB. However, all this took a toll on a 2017 film titled Tikli and Laxmi Bomb, created by independent filmmaker Aditya Kripalani. Mistaking it for Laxmmi Bomb, trolls downranked Aditya’s film, which had a TRP of 4.3 out of 5 in IMDB.
Have a look at the Tweets:

When Kedarnath was going to release they banned it by saying that it is promoting love jihad..
So now there should be no problem in banning laxmi bomb..
Agree or not??? #ShameOnUAkshayKumar pic.twitter.com/4wsbbaKa65— Anwesha Pandey ( SSRian )?♥️ (@AnweshaPandey7) October 16, 2020
Try replacing “aisha Bomb” with “laxmi Bomb” and interchange the religion of hero, heroine then see the difference.
we saw what happened in bangalore and what they did to Rahul rajput. @akshaykumar wasn’t expecting this from you.

It has now become an ideology to announce one’s own film or to make a film in the name of the God of Hinduism … and to name a male character from another community and to name a female character Hindu …. this is a shame .
