Every movie has the same trailer: Karthik

Our reaction is the only original thing: Karthik

It’s about all of us who are doing commercial flick: Venkat

Director of Thalapathy Vijay-starrer GOAT, Venkat Prabhu was accused of making fun of director Lokesh Kanagaraj by sharing a video on his Instagram story wherein Stand up comedian Karthik Kumar is seen making fun of Tamil film trailers. Controversial opinion maybe but I think all these trailers that are dropping of big commercial films in Tamil are all the same trailer. All the same trailer! Every movie has the same trailer. ‘He is going to come. He is coming. He has come.’ You’ll use retro music of some old movie, punch dialogues of their own old movies and the only thing original about it is we get excited as if it’s a new thing. Our reaction is the only original thing that come out of all this. Why are you all reacting differently, it is the same trailer? Crazy people (sic),” Karthik Kumar said.

It’s about all of us who are doing commercial flick!! And what he is sayings is kinda true too!! If we try to give something different from the regular commercial template!! are the fans ready to accept (sic),” Venkat Prabhu remarked.
