Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava has received a fantastic response from the audiences. The movie was released more than a month ago, but it is still doing well at the box office, and till now, it has collected Rs 565 crore. The movie and Vicky have once again grabbed everyone's attention due to violence in Nagpur, and netizens are targeting the actor and the makers of the film on social media.
Reportedly, on Monday, supporters of two groups gathered in Nagpur's Mahal area near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue for a protest seeking the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb from Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. They were burning the effigy of Aurangzeb along with a green cloth, and, soon, there were rumours that a Holy book was burnt. This created ruckus between the people of two religious groups, resulting in riots.
Well, netizens are blaming Vicky Kaushal and the makers of Chhaava for the violence. A netizen wrote, "Congratulations Vicky Kaushal for your wonderful success, Finally you achieved what you want.. celebrate your success for spreading massive hate in the environment of India .. #VickyKaushal #NagpurViolence #Nagpur."
Another X user wrote, "I wonder if Vicky Kaushal ever had a conscience. So ashamed that an actor willingly encouraged lies and hate." One more netizen posted, "Made a propaganda movie Earned ₹553 Crore Enjoying luxurious cars and lifestyle Meanwhile : Common man's sentiments are hurt, media has left all important issues like Jobs and Inflation, Nagpur is suffering. Don't be like Vicky Kaushal."

However, fans of the actor have come out in his support. A netizen shared on X, "People are blaming Vicky Kaushal for Nagpur violence. Is country me govt, babus aur kanoon ke rakhwalo ko chhor ke har koi doshi hai." One more X user posted, "Blaming vicky kaushal for whatever is happening in nagpur is the most childish thing i hv seen recently. Ppl need to be blamed for this, their brain cells get damaged like anything, they want nothing but communal stuff all the time. You will get served what you are craving for."
Well, neither Vicky nor the makers have shared any statement yet.
On Tuesday, while speaking about the violence that took place in Nagpur, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in the Assembly said, "This violent incident and riots seem to be pre-planned. Chhaava movie has ignited people’s anger against Aurangzeb still, everyone must keep Maharashtra peaceful."
