Though the intention of the filmmaker is pure and progressive, as we all know, we can’t expect social media to behave good to us as it is a place filled with negative. This post shared by Vignesh Shivan got appreciated by enormous number of his followers. But few people tried to mock the post by comparing it to a post shared by popular Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. Few also criticized the way the pictures are edited. Check out some of their reactions below :

There are high chances for the post Vignesh Shivan to be a coincidental one as there is only one hour gap between both the posts. People are asked by our PM to clap from their balcony and there is no other way to clap from balcony. Comment your views on these comments received by the “NRD” director.
