The Amazon Prime Original ‘Mirzapur’ is a show that has created a fan following for itself. Many people earnestly follow the stars of the show and keep a lookout for any and every news update. The show recently debuted the trailer of its next season. However, #BoycottMirzapur has started trending on Twitter as a group of netizens are unhappy with the lead actor Ali Fazal and producer Farhan Akhtar had lent their support to anti-CAA protests.
At the end of 2019, the central government of India had put up the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act on the table. While the act was supported by many artists and commoners, many had raised their voices against it too. Soon it led to a nationwide protest as many people all over the nation took to their streets to make their concerns heard. Ali Fazal and Farhan Akhtar, who is the actor and producer of the series respectively, had also taken part in these protests. These reasons are being cited by many people because of which they are calling for a boycott.
Politics has always been a personal choice. Time will tell if their involvement in protests will affect the popularity of the show or not.
