Shankar trolled after he announces new project. Director Shankar is hailed as the sensational director for his futuristic films and powerful message oriented entertainers. However, his last two films, Indian 2 and Game Changer turned out to be disasters.
In the midst of all this, Shankar announced his next project but he was trolled mercilessy as he maintained stoic silence after the disasters and now compared his new project with Hollwood films like Avatar, Game of Thrones.
Shankar announcing his new project, posted "Enthiran was my Previous Dream project, now #Velpari is my dream film. It scope to introduce new technologies. Like GameOfThrones & Avatar, Velparu has all scope to become our Pride Indian-Tamil film. Hope Dream comes true"
Netizens came up with the following reactions.
A user wrote, "It’s scary when Shankar says such things!" Another wrote, "Velpari is my all time favourite Novel. Pls give the story rights to Rajamouli. He is the only director who can bring things alive and keeps the emotions to the heart of the audience. Shankar will spoil the movie in the name of VFX and unwanted budgets for songs."
A third user wrote, "Wishing nothing but an all time disaster Shankar sir." A user wrote, "Bro is getting ready to waste producer’s money." Addressing a comment to Shankar, a user wrote, "If u want ur dreams come true, put your own money, don't waste producers money, u already did so much damage to dilraju garu, @Shankarshanmugh. Producers don't believe him again. Don't waste ur money. A u already damaged two big production houses Lyca and svc." Another said, "Focus on story not technology."
Velpari is based on Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Pari, a historical novel penned by Su Venkatesan. The plot centres around the ruler Vel Paari and the opposition he faced from the three dynasties - Chera, Chola and Pandya.
