Rajinikanth faces backlash from Telugu fans; here’s why
South Superstar Rajinikanth is a name that needs no introduction. He has won the hearts of countless fans with his stellar performances and remains immensely popular, even in Japan. However, recently, there has been some frustration among the Telugu audience towards Rajinikanth. Let’s explore why.
In India, respecting regional languages is considered essential in the film industry. However, Tamil producers seem to be overlooking this basic principle when releasing their movies in Telugu-speaking regions. Traditionally, Tamil movies dubbed in Telugu always carried Telugu titles that the local audience could easily understand.
But recently, a new trend has emerged, where Tamil films are released in Telugu with their original Tamil titles. This trend began with Tamil actor Ajith, whose film Valimai was released in Telugu with the same title. Following this, popular actor Suriya is also working on a movie called Kanguva, which is being released in multiple Indian languages, including Telugu, without changing the original title.
Now, even Superstar Rajinikanth has joined this trend. His latest film Vettaiyan, which translates to hunter in is being released in Telugu-speaking regions without any title change. The Telugu audience, who have always expected Rajinikanth to respect their language, were disappointed when the film retained its Tamil title.
The trailer of Vettaiyan, which is set to release on October 10, has already been released, and some of Rajinikanth’s Telugu fans are not happy with this decision. Many expected him to change the title to a Telugu one, considering his strong fanbase in the region.
Fans are now waiting to see if Rajinikanth will address this issue or offer any explanation. Only time will tell how he responds to this growing sentiment among his Telugu fans.
