The memes that featured Bollywood actors like Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, etc. did not go down well with the Twitterati, and in absolutely no time, #BoycottErosNow was trending on Twitter.
The memes shared by Eros Now were comprised of stills from the movies like Ramleela, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, De Dana Dan, etc. with apparently offensive dialogues written on them.
