The reactions

While some users are curious about Madhavan’s role, many remain sceptical about the movie's budget recovery, which is reportedly Rs 1000 crore.

One user commented, “1000 crore ... I don't know like is there a need for such big budgets ? Its scary ... How are they going to recover.”

One user replied to this, “They won't but they will sell the story of selling movie rights for high price to hide that failure. A 1000ce movie needs 1500cr net to be successful, which is not happening in India in the next 20 years.”

One user reacted, “The film is expected to be a grand adventure thriller with mythological elements, reportedly inspired by Lord Hanuman and Hollywood's Indiana Jones. Hype creation, then monetization.”

Another user reacted, “I am no longer convinced with all these big numbers and big movie sets. They create so much hype, but when the movie releases, it becomes a disaster. Thug Life is the latest example. It has a legendary director actor duo and still flopped.”
