After the grand success of his summer blockbuster Ganga, Lawrence is undoubtedly one of the most sought after directors down south. He already has several lucrative offers up his sleeve and he is currently busy scripting a power packed script for his next. However, yesterday’s incident seemed to have bothered Lawrence to a great extent that he reacted sternly.
Yesterday, an impostor, using Lawrence’s name and image, revealed on Twitter that he will be working with Malayali beauty Nazriya Nazrim in his next film. Quickly denying the news, Lawrence issued a public statement and said, “I don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account. So don’t believe any message coming under my name in these sites.
Yesterday a news was being spread stating that I have tweeted that Nazriya is the heroine of my next film. I have come to know that a fake Twitter account has been started with my name and such false news is being spread. If such acts recur I will take legal action.”
While fake profiles imposing as film stars on social media is nothing new, it is really important that Lawrence react so strongly against them. In the past too, several stars in film industries across India gave police complaints to control this cyber menace, which might create a major problem for them and many innocent fans who blindly follow these accounts taking them for real.
