Sadak 2, starring Alia Bhatt in the lead, has notched up the most disliked trailer on YouTube since its release yesterday with around 5.3 million people giving it a thumbs down. In comparison, a little over 29,000 people have liked it. Since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, cries to boycott "star kids" have been louder than ever and their anger only amplified on Wednesday when a bulk of Singh "fans" headed to YouTube to express their feelings towards director Mahesh Bhatt's Sadak 2. The film also marks Bhatt's directorial return after two decades.

The movie which stars Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, and Aditya Roy Kapur has been heavily trolled ever since the first look was launched. Within hours of its release on August 12, Sadak 2 managed to get downvoted 2.7 million times and the numbers are increasing with every refresh on it.

The like-dislike ratio on Bhatt's trailer-video is approximately 95%. The video has 164K likes. This puts the trailer right at the top of dislike ratio, with Swedish gamer PewDiePie's video "Can this video get 1 million dislikes?" coming close second with 93% dislikes at 4.88 million dislikes. As the debate around nepotism and unreasonable opportunities given to actors belonging to film families continues in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide this June, Bollywood celebrities such as Bhatt, Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ananya Pandey have been at the receiving end. A campaign to make Sadak 2 the most disliked trailer on YouTube was launched by Rajput’s fans in the days leading to the launch, with several conspiracy theories suggesting the actor was denied opportunities he deserved that instead went to star kids, driving him to suicide.
