Ravi Teja Tackles Social Media Toxicity in New Film
Some movie stars in India are upset about mean comments and fights that happen online, especially between fans of different actors.
Ravi Teja put a strong message against these bullies in his new movie.
He said that people who write mean things online are often scared to use their real names and are narrow-minded and jobless.
The movie's producer agreed that many actors are worried about this online meanness.
Another actor, Pawan Kalyan, said that these online fights are hurting movie sales because people stop watching movies faster due to negativity.
He asked fans to stop trolling other actors' movies.
The producer also mentioned that the big stars are actually friends in real life, but their fans fight a lot online.
He thinks it's hard to control this online anger and that fans are going too far.
Ravi Teja incorporates criticism of social media toxicity and fan wars into his latest film, 'Mass Jathara'.
A dialogue in the film directly addresses and condemns toxic online users as 'sick-minded, jealous, frogs living in a well, dogs barking in the dark, brainless, jobless, negative-minded, and hypocrites'.
Producer M. S. Raju defends the expression of concerns about online negativity, noting that actors address it through films or events.
Pawan Kalyan previously voiced worries that fan wars and social media negativity are negatively impacting film box-office runs.
M. S. Raju explains that while top stars maintain good off-screen relationships, their fans engage in intense rivalries online, often crossing boundaries.
