An Angry Hacker Takes Over Imtiaz Ali’s Wiki Page to Abuse Him

Looks like ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ has upset this Wikipedia hacker to no end.

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal hasn’t met the expectations that come with an Imtiaz-SRK-Anushka starrer. Critics weren’t too kind and fans were too confused by the story and the characters, resulting in a poor box office opening. But the film’s failure seems to have upset one cinephile a lot more than the others. A miscreant changed Imtiaz Ali’s name to ch***ya on the filmmaker’s official Wikipedia page.

As you can see, in place of Imtiaz’s name above his image, sits a grumbling expletive.

Well, that’s one disgruntled fan. But Wikipedia seems to have caught on rather quickly. The page was taken down briefly and cleaned up, but we managed to capture a quick snapshot as proof.
