The much-anticipated teaser for Chiranjeevi's "Vishwambhara" dropped during Dussehra, setting the internet ablaze with a flurry of reactions. While fans were ecstatic to see their megastar back in action, some netizens took to trolling, criticizing the film's visual effects and drawing comparisons to popular Hollywood films.
The teaser showcased a blend of action, fantasy, and grand visuals, promising a summer blockbuster. However, some viewers found the special effects lacking, particularly in a scene resembling "Avengers," leading to online comparisons and memes. Others pointed out similarities to "Avatar" and "Lord of the Rings," accusing the filmmakers of copying scenes from popular Hollywood movies.
Despite the criticism, Chiranjeevi's loyal fans are defending the film, which has already clocked over 22 million views. Producer Lagadapati Sridhar, commenting on the online discourse, believes that some negativity can actually work in the film's favor. He points out that similar trolls were directed at "Kalki 2898AD", which eventually became a worldwide blockbuster.
Sridhar believes that young social media users, seeking visibility and showcasing their "intelligence," often jump to conclusions based on just a short teaser. He maintains that their comments, though not professionally informed, are driving massive viewership and generating free publicity for the film.
The controversy surrounding the "Vishwambhara" teaser has certainly piqued the curiosity of audiences. While the film's final visual effects will be revealed in subsequent trailers and the film itself, the buzz generated by these mixed reactions has undoubtedly propelled the film into the spotlight. It remains to be seen whether the movie can live up to the expectations and deliver on its promise of a grand cinematic experience.
