\"Vikram Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt<\/a> has come out in support of Alia Bhatt<\/a> amid the online criticism surrounding the teaser of ‘Alpha’, the first female-led instalment in the YRF Spy Universe. Addressing the trolling directed at the actor, Vikram said Alia deserves encouragement for taking on a new challenge rather than being criticised for it.\u201cWhy is Alia Bhatt getting trolled? Poor thing. She\u2019s attempting something different and should be appreciated for it,\u201d he said in an interview with News18. Vikram also drew parallels with his own experience, claiming that the trailer of his recent film, ‘Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past’, was subjected to a coordinated trolling campaign. According to the filmmaker, negative comments appeared predominantly on one platform, raising suspicions about their authenticity.\u201cWe were getting a lot of bad comments on the YouTube channel of Anand Pandit<\/a> Motion Pictures but not on Saregama\u2019s YouTube channel or Instagram. Then we found out that it was a paid campaign and the people saying bad things were bots. So, we had to work that out. We can make out organic comments from inorganic ones,\u201d he said.Speaking about the growing influence of online negativity, Vikram urged people not to blindly trust every critical comment they encounter on social media. He suggested that many such reactions could be artificially generated as part of organised campaigns.\u201cWe need to tell audiences that every bad comment they read could be generated by a bot, by a computer, by a nobody. It takes Rs 1 lakh for thousand comments. I don\u2019t know who\u2019s paying this money. But I\u2019m sure everyone has enemies. You don\u2019t know which faction is doing it. But obviously, someone doesn\u2019t wish you well,\u201d he said.Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films, ‘Alpha’ is among the most eagerly awaited additions to the spy universe and marks Alia Bhatt\u2019s first major action franchise as a lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has come out in support of Alia Bhatt amid the online criticism surrounding the teaser…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541524,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[17188,232418,141499,434,18,117,19,17,63007,9199,36754,86149],"class_list":["post-541523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-alia-bhatt","tag-alpha-teaser","tag-anand-pandit","tag-celebrities","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-negative-comments","tag-social-media-reactions","tag-vikram-bhatt","tag-yrf-spy-universe"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116770942081168093","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541523"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541523\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
