Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is a talented and star director of South Indian Cinema. However, when it comes to reacting to the criticism of his films, the director throws some unnecessary comments. Lokesh tries to defend his latest film, Coolie, but his remarks have received negative responses.
Lokesh Kanagaraj, in a recent interview, stated that the audiences went to watch Coolie with expectations of it being a part of LCU or containing some sci-fi elements, and that is why they were disappointed after watching the movie.
Lokesh Defends Coolie: Criticizes Audiences
The Vikram director said that he or his team did not mention that it is a part of LCU, nor did they say that it is a sci-fi movie. So, he said that he cannot make the film according to the expectations of audiences.
Surely, Lokesh’s statement appears to defend Coolie, but it seems like again, he is trying to cover the film’s weak points by not accepting his mistakes. Even during the mixed response to the movie Leo, Lokesh Kanagaraj shared similar kinds of statements.
But Lokesh Kanagaraj needs to understand that people did not dislike the film because it was not an LCU film or a scientific one, but they did not like it because they found it flat, dragged, and unengaging, with weak characterizations and especially unnecessary star cameos.
