One of the most awaited movies, Bramhastra is all set to release in theaters on September 9, 2022. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and others Bramhastra is a dream project of 'Wake Up Sid' director Ayan Mukherjee. However, Bramhastra has been facing a massive boycott call on social media and that has become a worry for the filmmakers. Now, Boycott Bramhastra has become a ground reality as a massive protest erupted against Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt on Tuesday during their visit to Ujjain's famous Mahakaleshwar Temple. In fact, Police had to resort to the Lathi charge in order to disperse the crowd gathered outside the temple to protest against Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt over the Shamshera actor's remark on 'Beef' in 2011.
Now, Ranbir Kapoor- Alia Bhatt Mahakaleshwar temple visit video has been going viral on social media. In the Ranbir Kapoor Mahakaleshwar Temple viral video, it can be seen police forcefully and violently drag a protestor outside the premises of the Mahakaleshwar Temple. Another video shows, protestors chanting 'Jai Shri Raam' while Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Ayan Mukherjee are in the car. One of the protestors while talking to the media stated that they have gathered to protest against Ranbir Kapoor for his 'Beef' remark.
