Vijay Antony, the multi-talented artist known for his acting and music compositions, has recently voiced his frustration over critics’ reception of his latest film, ‘Romeo’ (Love Guru in Telugu). Despite a decent turnout at the box office, Antony expressed discontent with critics, particularly targeting one named “Mr. Blue Sattai Maaran.”
He criticized critics for allegedly misleading audiences and unfairly criticizing good films like ‘Romeo.’ Urging viewers to form their own opinions, Antony emphasized the film’s quality and discouraged comparisons to be ‘Anbe Sivam,’ critically acclaimed but commercially underperforming film.
Directed by Vinayak Vaithiyanathan, ‘Romeo’ is a romantic comedy-drama starring Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi. The story revolves around Arivazhagan, an Malaysia returnee who enters into an arranged marriage with Leela, an aspiring actress.
Despite the controversy, Antony remains in focused on his upcoming projects, including ‘Agni Siragugal,’ ‘Hitler,’ ‘Khakee,’ and ‘Valli Mayil.’ Whether these films will face similar scrutiny or receive unanimous acclaim remains to be seen.
