Nag Ashwin, the talented director behind the successful film Kalki 2898 AD, has found himself in the midst of two major controversies following the movie’s release. Despite receiving widespread acclaim and crossing the Rs 1000 crore mark at the box office, Nag Ashwin’s actions on social media have sparked debates and divided opinions among fans and industry insiders alike.
After the release of Kalki 2898 AD, Nag Ashwin faced backlash for not responding to a tweet from Megastar Chiranjeevi, who had praised the film. Despite promptly replying to other celebrities who appreciated his work, Nag Ashwin’s silence towards the Megastar’s tweet garnered criticism from fans, leading to trolls online.
However, the most significant controversy arose when Nag Ashwin posted a message celebrating the film’s success without resorting to ‘blood, gore, obscenity, provocative, or exploitative content’. While this post was meant to highlight the film’s achievements and its unique approach, many interpreted it as a direct jab at director Sandeep Vanga and his film ‘Animal’. The comparison between the two directors and their respective films ignited a firestorm on social media, with supporters and critics weighing in on the matter.
Some defended Nag Ashwin’s post, applauding his vision and artistic integrity, while others condemned him for seemingly targeting a fellow filmmaker. The online discourse surrounding Nag Ashwin’s statements continues to evolve, with no response yet from Sandeep Vanga himself. This controversy has shed light on the complexities of the entertainment industry and the interactions between creators and their audiences, showcasing the power of social media in shaping public perception.
As the dust settles, Nag Ashwin’s post-release journey has been marked by both accolades and criticisms, underscoring the fine line that artists walk in the public eye. The debate surrounding his social media activity serves as a reminder of the impact of words and intentions in a digital age where opinions spread rapidly and opinions collide with fervor.
