Director Venkat Prabhu, who is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film GOAT with Thalapathy Vijay, is making headlines for the wrong reasons.
The star director, who is quite vocal on social media, took to Instagram to repost a reel talking about Tamil cinema’s commercial trailer cuts. In the reel reposted by the director, the content creator talks about how every trailer cut of every commercial Tamil film follows the same template.
In an attempt at humor, the content creator gave his take on how commercial films have the same punch dialogues, with the hero mouthing the same mass words. The only thing different about these trailer cuts is the way the viewer reacts to them, he pointed out.
Reposting the story on his Instagram account, Venkat Prabhu reacted with a few laughing emojis, which did not sit well with netizens.
