"Kiyu force karre ho jay siyaram bolne ke liye yeh resson hai desh ko andhbhakto ne barbad kardiya hai..! Shame on you (Why force someone to say Jai Shri Ram. Such andhbhakts are the reason why our country is backward)," a user commented.


"I am Hindu baki bro kisi ko jabardasti Jay Shri Ram nahin bula sakte or na Allah u Akbar sab apne apne dharm ka Aadar Karen," wrote another. 


However, a few others brutally trolled the filmmaker in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Sajid had been accused by several actresses and models of sexual harassment.


One of the comments read, "Kitna Seedha ban raha hai yeh."


Another user said, "Achha hua buddha bahar aa gaya."


Another comment read, "He is being papped? Really? You should have some responsibilities towards whom you promote. Do not promote a man who has been accused of sexual harassment by 14 women."
