These days, almost all Bollywood movie trailers receive a certain amount of backlash on social media, regardless of merit, due to the anti-nepotism movement on social media. It started after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and multiple movies, featuring starkids, have been the victim of it.
Laxmmi Bomb has no apparent ties to nepotism – lead actors Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani are not Starkids. It is directed by southern filmmaker Raghava Lawrence and produced by Cape of Good Films (Akshay’s company), Fox Star Studios, Shabinaa Entertainment and Tushar Entertainment House.
However, some netizens seemed to have been waiting to hit the dislike button in the Laxmmi Bomb trailer on YouTube, and were quite disappointed to find that Disney + Hotstar had hidden the ‘like’ and ‘dislike numbers. ‘. Some believed that the creators were afraid of public opinion.

A comment on YouTube said: “The Likes and Dislikes numbers are hidden. The audience is like: Ye Darr Hume Achha Laga.”
The OTT platform has faced a lot of backlash in the past when it released trailers for the movie Sadak 2 starring Alia Bhatt. Akshay himself appeared to irritate SSR fans recently when he finally broke his silence on Sushant’s death and the investigation into an alleged drug problem in Bollywood. He admitted that drug use is a problem in the film industry, but asked everyone not to see the entire industry as a bed of vice.
Some of his fans urged other Twitter users to refrain from blind rage and not hate the Laxmmi Bomb trailer just for the fun of it.
Dear SSRians … You go blind … You don’t like nepo children like the trailer for alia and ananya, it’s ok … you are boycotting the movies of drug gangs which is also good … #LaxmmiBombTrailer so you’re just increasing the hatred against SSR …@akshaykumar sir is a very good human being❣️ pic.twitter.com/kS3Jr6Xq8L
