While Shamshera has already flopped, Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming film with wife Alia Bhatt is also on the brink of a following Shamshera's path due to the massive backlash it has been receiving from haters on social media.

Recently, Brahmstra stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with director Ayan Mukerji visited Ujjain's Mahakaleshwari temple. However, people started to protest against Ranbir as soon as they arrived outside the temple due to his old 'beef guy' comment.
