Earlier
today,
Janhvi
Kapoor
announced
on
her
Instagram
page
that
her
upcoming
release,
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
is
all
set
to
premiere
on
Netflix
on
August
12.
She
wrote,
"Proud
to
bring
to
you
the
story
of
India's
first
woman
Air
Force
Officer
to
go
to
war.
A
journey
that
I
hope
will
inspire
you
the
way
that
it
has
inspired
me.
GunjanSaxena
-
The
Kargil
Girl
is
landing
on
12th
August
to
your
#Netflix
screens!"
Unfortunately,
her
announcement
received
more
flak
than
praise
on
the
internet.
Many
netizens
shared
on
their
social
media
pages
that
they
have
decided
to
boycott
the
film
as
it
is
produced
by
Karan
Johar
and
it
features
a
'star
kid'
in
the
lead
role.
For
the
uninitiated,
ever
since
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
breathed
his
last,
netizens
have
vowed
not
to
watch
any
film
of
Karan
Johar
that
features
'star
kids'
in
the
lead
role.
In
fact,
a
few
days
ago,
when
Alia
Bhatt
and
Mahesh
Bhatt
shared
the
first
look
poster
of
Sadak
2,
their
posts
met
with
the
same
fate
and
the
hashtag
#BoycottSadak2
trended
on
Twitter
for
an
entire
day.
Here's
how
netizens
vented
out
their
anger
on
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Karan
Johar.
A
user
wrote,
"The
role
of
Kargil
girl
#GunjanSaxena
is
given
to
#JanhviKapoor.
These
Bollywood
bigots
will
always
be
a
loyal
pet
to
these
Nepotistic
kids.
Time
to
boycott
them."
"Dharma
Production
should
be
boycotted
until
it
gives
chances
to
many
talented
outsiders," wrote
another
furious
netizen.
"Immense
respect
for
#GunjanSaxena
maam.
She's
a
real
icon...a
motivation...a
true
leader.
But
I
will
not
watch
the
film...reason
being
flag
bearer
of
nepotism
#KaranJohar
is
behind
it...also
undeserving
nepo
kid," tweeted
another
user.
However,
Janhvi
hasn't
reacted
to
the
negativity
around
her
film
yet!
