Akshay Kumar to Ranveer Singh, celebrities called out problematic

Superstars such as Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh, among others, failed to attract audiences. The year 2022 will be remembered for the Indian film industry experiencing some fantastic highs while also experiencing some severe lows. The success of RRR in the West surprised everyone. But the poor performance of Hindi films at the box office became a topic of discussion.
The #Boycott trend that has erupted around Hindi films and their stars is also not helping. Actors have been chastised and trolled for years (there is some truth to them being soft targets in a polarised country). But this was possibly the first time that the Boycott Bollywood trend was seen to have an impact on film box office performance.
