South superstars Mahesh Babu and Thalapathy Vijay’s fans have gone to war with each other on Twitter, over Babu’s blockbusters films Okkadu and Pokiri which were remade with Vijay in Tamil as Ghilli and Pokkiri.
Just like the original films, the remakes also set the box office on fire and turned out to be a massive commercial success. The war between the fans of both superstars took off when Vijay's fans claimed that the Tamil remakes were better than Babu’s original films.
This uncalled-for comparison did not go down well with the fans of Mahesh Babu and they started using a series of objectionable hashtags on Twitter, including ‘National Troll Material Vijay’, and ‘Vijay Bots Under MB Fans Foot’, to name a few.
Hitting back at Mahesh Babu’s fans, Vijay’s fans started trending hashtags like ‘Boycott Gay Mahesh Babu.’
