The GOAT starring Vijay released recently and became a sensational blockbuster in Tamil Nadu. The film registered a 100 crore opening worldwide and also grossed 275 crores in the first extended weekend. But The GOAT didn’t click well in Telugu States and Kerala by becoming a big disaster here. Now Director of the film, Venkat Prabhu came up with a shocking explanation to The GOAT’s Telugu version and other language versions’ failure.
Venkat Prabhu took part in an X/Twitter space discussion. The Director there said that Telugu Audience and Hindi Audience didn’t connect with the film because of the involvement of IPL team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the climax. He also said that many people, mostly fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians criticise him for being a big fan of CSK and also opined that this would have been the big reason for them not liking the film. This came as a shocking statement from the director.
Venkat Prabhu seems to be unable to accept the mistakes he did in the film and blamed it only on the invovlement of Chennai Super Kings. This definitely couldn’t be the only reason for the film’s failure. There were many other factors like the long run time, illogical scenes and plot as well for The GOAT becoming a failure in Telugu and Malayalam versions. But Venkat Prabhu didn’t recognise this at all which felt surprising.
