Netizens React To Venkat Prabhu’s Satirical Comment

Netizens were quick to reply to the GOAT director. A user commented, “Controversial opinion maybe but I think all these trailers that are dropping of big commercial films in Tamil are all the same trailer. All the same trailer! Every movie has the same trailer. (Imitates loud, thumping music) You’ll use retro music of some old movie, punch dialogues of their own old movies and the only thing original about it is we get excited as if it’s a new thing. Why are you reacting to the same thing, crazy people (sic).”

Another comment read, “Last best trailer that excites me is “vikram vedha” before that is “Mangatha” all other were same old script of what he said! (sic).” The third comment read, “Why you guys are offended for everything? Just see it in this way: Being one of the commercial directors, @vp_offl is just open-mindedly enjoying the joke on him. Simple It’s really horrible that he has to give an explanation for laughing to a joke! (sic).”
