Aamir Khan`s much-awaited film, `Laal Singh Chaddha` will be hitting the theatres in a couple of days. However, ahead of its release, the film became the unwilling center of controversy when some social media users went through the archives and dug up Aamir`s controversial, "India`s growing intolerance" statement and circulated it on the micro-blogging site. In 2015, Aamir Khan said in an interview, "Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread ill-will". His wife Kiran Rao also made headlines for saying that she considered leaving the country for the safety of their children.
Reacting to the old statement by the actor, a section of netizens have been putting up posts asking people to boycott the film. Hashtags such as #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha and #Boycottaamirkhan have been trending over the past week.
