Fan wars on social media are inevitable. And in some circumstances, they’re unavoidable. Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s fans and her ex-hubby Naga Chaitanya Akkineni’s fans are always at the loggerheads pulling each other’s legs, comparing their success and failures at the box office. And it has been quite common.
When Chay got separated from Samantha, some section of fans portrayed Chay as a baddie who curated the episode and pushed Samantha into darkness. Sam too, indirectly, said that it was Chay at fault and she had been very nice and patient in all the situations during the marriage.
Chay’s film ‘Thank You’ directed by Sekhar Kammula was a disaster at the box office. Later, Samantha’s film ‘Yashoda’ hit theatres. It was a decent hit. It was appreciated by critics as well as audiences. Many fans of Samantha boasted that Sam’s stature is a notch higher than Chaitanya’s.
After a gap, ‘Shaakuntalam’ was released in theatres on April 14. Samantha fans faced the music when the reviews came pouring in saying the film is nothing but a dud. The Gunasekhar directorial turned out to be a colossal loss for everyone who is involved in its production.
Akkineni fans have started making memes on Samantha and on the film ‘Shaakuntalam’. Some users say the actress is not as big as everyone is expecting and time has proved that she is not capable of pulling off the story singlehandedly on her tender shoulders.
