In a new post-release chat shared by the film’s production banner SLV Cinemas on YouTube, Nani spoke about the strong reactions to the film and admitted that he has rarely seen such negative reactions to any of his films.
Nani pointed out paradise Unlike anything he has experienced in his career so far. “Of the 33 films I’ve made in my 18-year career, this is the first time I’ve experienced something like this. But when someone says they didn’t like a movie, there’s a passion behind that reaction, an aggressive honesty. When someone says with that intensity, ‘It didn’t work for me’, it tells you that we really see that as a positive.”
For Nani, the divided reaction also seems to come from the very nature of the film itself. He said he knew the film would draw strong reactions, but the scale of the backlash still surprised him.
“I knew the film would get a lot of reactions, but I didn’t expect such a backlash on Twitter and Instagram. It’s a strange feeling, but an experience nonetheless,” he said.
Srikanth Odela, meanwhile, admitted that he is still trying to figure out the answer. The filmmaker said, “I feel empty. I still need some more time to digest and understand the mixed reactions.”
