Mumbai, Jan 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) A day after a section of the Twitterati called for a boycott of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone's upcoming movie 'Chhapaak', another section came out in her support and tweeted that it will watch the new movie based on a real-life story of an acid-attack victim. #HumDekhengeChhapaak and #IsupportDeepika trended with people praising the actress for her stand on the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus violence on January 5.

Another retweeted a post of Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap and said: "#HumDekhengeChhapaak. First day first show."
Kashyap had tweeted: "The female of the species is, and was, and will always be the strongest of the two. #DeepikaPadukone. Chhapaak first day all shows. Let's all those who stand against the violence show them. Make our silent statement which will be the loudest."
A user posted a picture of Deepika alongside that of certain Bollywood actors and tweeted: "Pic 1: Real heroine with real guts. Pic 2: Fake hero with fake guts. #ISupportDeepika #HumDekhengeChhapaak."
"Now that bhakts are trending boycott Chhapaak, I will definitely watch it. Hats off @deepikapadukone for showing solidarity with #JNU. #JNUTerrorAttack #ISupportDeepika #HumDekhengeChhapaak," read one post.
