According to Google, "Doobie" refers to marijuana cigarette or joint.
"Presenting #DOOBIE the undying spirit of a 5 year old ragpicker .. a film by Keith Gomes #child4ev .. Keith was an AD on my film Aladdin .. come a long way .. my congratulations !! Keith Ohm," Big B wrote on his verified Facebook page on Thursday, along with the short film's trailer.
A section of netizens were not too impressed. They questioned Big B's silence over actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death and Bollywood's alleged drug links, at a time NCB has issued summons to film stars such as Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh.
"Hope Doobie anyway isnt related to "Doobs" , "Buds," asked a user comments on his post.
"That awkward moment when you realize that "DOOBIE" is the official word for a cannabis (ganja) cigarette!" wrote another user.
"Sweet clips! Mumbai film industry on the verge of losing its age old charisma and attractions. The revelations are destroying everything," commented another user.
"First speak out and clean out bollywood then you are in possession to talk about films and society. if you can't then pls get loss," wrote another user.
