Stars vent their anger on Social Media negativity, Over the last few decades, with the advent of social  media, fanwars took a new turn and Social Media negativity increased with fans of one hero trolling and spreading negativity over the films of other actors.

This increased so much so that Ravi Teja in his latest film Mass Jathara addressed the issue with a powerful dialogue. He said “You people don’t even have the guts to comment using your real names. What has Twitter turned into… 80% of you are sick-minded, jealous, frogs living in a well (narrow-minded), dogs barking in the dark, brainless, jobless, negative-minded, and hypocrites!”

Producer MS.Raju shares “Everyone has the right to express their opinion. Some actors are doing it through film events, others through their films. I don’t want to take names, but many are genuinely worried about the growing negativity on Social Media. Unfortunately, there’s very little we can do to control it.”

Pawan Kalyan also expressed his anger earlier. He said “Fan wars have turned quite ugly, and the hatred is spilling over into films, cutting short their lifespan. Earlier, big films used to run for 100 or 175 days, but now their fate is decided within five or six days due to negativity on Social Media.”

MS.Raju points out “Fan wars on Social Media are unavoidable—fans want their respective stars to shine while undermining rivals. Trolls begin even before the first show hits theatres. Though star rivalries are hurting cinema, good films are still overcoming this menace and emerging as blockbusters.”

He shares “It’s difficult to soak once it spreads. It’s better to stay away from the raging fire than to try controlling it. Social Media is run by lakhs of young, passionate fans who follow their favorite stars obsessively. They wait for any chance to troll teasers, trailers, or films of rival heroes—and this has become unstoppable.”

He adds Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi, and Balakrishna are friendly and reveals “Unfortunately, their fans don’t share that bonhomie. They want their favorite heroes’ films to mint box-office gold while wishing failure upon others. Negative memes and trolling have become rampant. Though this isn’t new, today’s fans are crossing the Lakshman Rekha, which should be avoided.”
