After the debacle of Anjaan, director Lingasamy was subjected to a barrage of harsh criticism on Facebook and Twitter. Dedicated Facebook pages named Lingusamy Memes were opened to mock the filmmaker unabashedly. Now, after reading Lingusamy’s recent interview to a daily, where he told the online trolling even reached his children, the administrators of the page have offered to either take down their page or rename it.
“We weren’t aware of what and how it would affect him. These days, every single movie and its dialogues are being trolled in social media. That’s exactly what we did without any intention of hurting anyone. But, when we learnt that it reached even his children, we felt it was wrong,” the page wrote to a national daily.
