Director Vasan Bala has been facing backlash since the release of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina starrer `Jigra`. The movie, which failed to impress audiences since its release, has been surrounded by controversy, including allegations of manipulated box office numbers and more. The filmmaker had been sharing posts and replying to comments until a day ago; however, now all of the responses have turned into blank boxes with the message "This post is from an account that no longer exists."
Vasan, who had been defending his film against trolls, has now deleted or deactivated his X account. In a recent interaction with `The Hollywood Reporter`, the director shared that he doesn’t consider box office numbers as the sole measure of a film’s success. However, this statement drew even more criticism, with social media users calling him "arrogant" for not acknowledging the audience`s perspective.
