Director Gnanavel Opens Up About Vettaiyan: Responds to 'Disaster' Hashtag and Fan Expectations"

Director Gnanavel recently addressed the mixed reception of his film Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth, which was released in October. Despite the huge buzz around the film, including a successful teaser and music by Anirudh, Vettaiyan received mixed reviews but turned out to be a box office success.

In a recent interview, Gnanavel spoke candidly about the negative hashtag "disaster" that was trending before the film’s release, criticizing how such early negativity affected fans' expectations. He emphasized that it was wrong to brand the film negatively even before its release, which made it hard to change public perception.

While Vettaiyan wasn’t a typical Rajinikanth movie, fans expecting mass scenes and punchy dialogues were disappointed. However, those who came with an open mind, appreciating Gnanavel’s unique style, found the film impressive.

The director's interview has since gone viral, with fans discussing his honest take on the film's journey.
