Meiyazhagan Director Criticizes Tamil audiences

0

Karthi and Arvind Swamy’s Meiyazhagan was released in 2024, directed by Prem Kumar, and received much praise for its heartfelt scenes and performances, but it did not do much at the box office. The director now criticizes Tamil audiences for not making it a commercial success.

In a recent interview, director Prem Kumar mentioned that if Meiyazhagan had been made in Malayalam, it might have been celebrated by the Tamil audience. He also shared that the film did not achieve the revenue the team had anticipated.

Meiyazhagan director blames audiences and reviewers

He stated that reviewers pose a bigger threat to movies than piracy and criticized them, claiming some critics suffer from mental illness. He also mentioned that he has no fear of reviewers, which is why he is openly addressing the issue.

This response from the filmmaker received mixed responses on social media. We can understand that he felt disappointed, as his film did not receive the big success that he expected.

Prem Kumar: The Meiyazhagan and 96 Director unnecessarily blames audiences

However, the director seems to be unnecessarily blaming critics, as the film received a unanimous positive response from critics, and a section of audiences also liked it. But a majority of the audiences felt that the film is not suitable for a theatrical celebration film.

That’s why the film did not do huge numbers at the box office. But the director directly blames audiences that they did not celebrate the film well.

Fans of Pawan Kalyan and Telugu cinema were left frustrated by the delayed content delivery of the highly anticipated film OG. However, the real reason behind the last-minute rush in the film’s post-production work remains unknown to most.

Directed by Sujeeth, OG gears up for a grand release with premieres tonight, and the film carries massive advances in all territories. The film became the biggest opener for Pawan Kalyan with pre-sales alone.

One thing that shocked everyone was the last-minute rush. The entire content of OG was dispatched last night, reportedly due to the re-editing of the film.

The delay in content delivery of OG was caused by the re-editing of the film

The entire team, along with Pawan, watched the final cut of the film a few days back, and then the team decided to trim some Saaho reference footage. It’s already out on the internet that the movie will have a link to Prabhas and Sujeeth’s Saaho, with a touch of the universe. 

Saaho – OG: Is a Sujeeth Cinematic Universe in the Making?

Reportedly, “They Call Him OG” initially included numerous references and video clips from Saaho, but these have now been trimmed to avoid disrupting the film’s flow.

There will be a universe connection, but it’s to be quite minimal, with only names used to link the two movies and no video clips included. Because of this editing, the team is reportedly forced into last-minute rushes.

The team is completely confident and satisfied with the final outcome. With that confidence, the makers are hosting the premieres tonight across all locations.
