Mohanlal fans trend #BoycottMajorRavi after ‘Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor’ announcement – ‘Wont be watching this’

Filmmaker-actor AK Raveendran, popularly known as Major Ravi, is facing massive criticism on the internet over his decision to make a movie on the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor. Malayalam actor Mohanlal is rumoured to be collaborating with Major Ravi on a project tentatively titled Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor, per The Indian Express.

Mohanlal fans blast Major Ravi for ‘Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor’

Major Ravi recently announced on Facebook that he was “commencing” his new project, “Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor”, inspired by the Pahalgam terror attack of 22 April 2025. “Commencing our new project, Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor, with the divine blessings of Mookambika Devi. Jai Hind,” Ravi wrote on Facebook.

While a section of fans felt that Ravi was trying to capitalise on personal and national tragedy for financial gain, some Mohanlal fans were fed up with the back-to-back snoozers from the Army officer-turned-filmmaker.

A Mohanlal fan said Major Ravi has served “absolute sh*t” three times in a row at the box office in recent times. He also called the filmmaker an “idiot” on X, formerly Twitter.

Another asked Mohanlal to “drop” Major Ravi’s project “immediately”. “ Open your eyes and see what’s happening around you, @Mohanlal,” they said. “Don’t be delusional,” they added. Another said it was time for Mohanlal to “rethink” his decision and step back from Major Ravi’s “Pahalgam: Op. Sindoor”.

Major Ravi and Mohanlal collaborated on the 2006 movie Keerthichakra, which proved to be a box office success. However, several of Ravi’s films, including Kurukshetra, Karmayodha, Kandahar and 1971: Beyond Borders, failed to win praise in the past.
