Venkat Prabhu Sparks Controversy with Instagram Post against Lokesh Kanagaraj Over Coolie’s Teaser

Venkat Prabhu, the acclaimed filmmaker currently immersed in the shooting of his upcoming project “GOAT” with Thalapathy Vijay, finds himself at the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. Known for his active presence on social media, Prabhu recently stirred controversy by reposting a reel on Instagram that delves into the formulaic nature of Tamil cinema’s commercial trailer cuts.

In the reposted reel, the content creator humorously critiques the ubiquitous presence of similar punch dialogues and mass elements in commercial Tamil film trailers. While acknowledging the repetitive nature of these cuts, the creator highlights the varying reactions they evoke from viewers.

Prabhu’s reaction to the reel, expressed through a few laughing emojis, drew swift backlash from netizens. Within minutes of the director’s post, fans were quick to interpret it as a subtle jab at director Lokesh Kanagaraj, particularly in reference to the recently released teaser of “Coolie” starring superstar Rajinikanth. While some condemned Prabhu’s actions, others dismissed it as harmless banter.

As tensions simmer on social media, Prabhu’s post has sparked debates among cinephiles and fans alike, underscoring the delicate balance between humor and controversy in the digital age.
