A five-year-old tweet by author Chetan Bhagat has suddenly gone viral on Twitter where he announces Sushant Singh Rajput as the lead actor of the movie based on his book "Half Girlfriend".
Netizens are now sharing Bhagat's tweet and blaming nepotism for Arjun Kapoor eventually replacing Sushant Singh Rajput as the film's lead actor. In turn, Arjun Kapoor kept trending on Twitter throughout Wednesday.
"So happy to share @itsSSR will play lead in @mohit11481 directed Half Girlfriend. Shooting begins 1Q16," reads Chetan Bhagat's now viral tweet, originally posted on November 7, 2015.
After Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise last week, netizens have concluded that he was a victim of Bollywood's nepotism and power play. Hence, there is an angry outburst on social media and star kids are being trolled.
Sharing Bhagat's old tweet, a user wrote, "See how nepotism works in corrupted Bollywood , mota Arjun Kapoor got this film by removing Sushant Singh Rajput."

This is how nepotism works in bollywood. A pathetic actor like Arjun Kapoor @arjunk26 is given priority nd a talented actor like #SushantSinghRajput, is bullied. Disgusting!! pic.twitter.com/YbkDW9JKKR
Because of this nepotism ruckus, from the bottom of my heart, I wish sonam, alia, ananya, jahnavi, arjun kapoor, varun dhawan, sonakshi are not cast in any new movies.

And even non nepo actors like Jacqueline, katrina.
They kill the mood to watch the movies with good stories.
