Mumbai: Bollywood star, Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the release of his upcoming mythological film Brahmastra. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is slated to release on September 9, and promotions of the film have started with great pomp. Amid all, netizens have dug up a comment from Ranbir’s past to target and troll him.
For the unversed, for the past few weeks, the Internet has been seeing a new boycott trend where netizens bring up old comments made by actors to boycott their films. After several films like Laal Singh Chaddha, Raksha Bandhan, Vikram Vedha, Dobaara, and many more, Brahmastra is the latest to fall victim to the trend.

In the video that is now going viral, Ranbir can be heard saying, “My family is from Peshawar, so a lot of Peshawari food has come with them. I am a mutton, paya, and beef fan. Yeah, I am a big beef fan.”
