Mumbai : Amid ongoing nepotism criticism, a section of netizens uninstalled an OTT app that is all set to premier the film Sadak 2. The film, which marks Mahesh Bhatt's directorial return after two decades, has been in the talks ever since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Sushant's demise provoked the debate about nepotism and favouritism in Bollywood, following which Sadak 2 star Alia Bhatt started receiving hate comments for riding on the privileges of an insider. 

Alia Bhatt has also turned off the comments section of her social media accounts including Instagram and Twitter.

Sadak 2 has been heavily trolled ever since the first look was launched. On Monday, the hashtag #UninstallHotstar trended on Twitter while many netizens urged people to boycott the Bhatt family's project.

"Nepometer projected 98% person of cast and crew (producers, directors) members of movie #Sadak by Mahesh Bhatt are the products of Nepotism. Nepometer is an initiative by SSR's Brother in law. #BoycottSadak2 #UninstallHotstar," a user tweeted.

"1 common Individual alone has no power. The people in position of power, think we could be controlled and manipulated by them. But when all the common people unite for a cause. No one can stop them. Let us show that now #JusticeforSSR #uninstallhotstar #BoycottAliaBhatt," expressed another user.

Sadak 2 will release on Disney+ Hotstar on August 28.
