“We should not spare him just like that. He acts like he holds a Phd in entire cinema. He wants us to make movies for his own standards as if he discovered cinema. He is the one who failed to achieve his goal in cinema. He wanted to become a filmmaker but he failed in it. With that grudge, he bashes every movie and its makers” Shakthi said in the interaction.

“Those who are watching his movie reviews are not the ones who watches movies in theatres. All the people who are looking for ways to kill their boredom are liking his videos. They won’t watch any movie in theatre. He can’t make a movie flop. He is someone who can’t even make difference in his movie reviews. All his reviews are in same patten. Who is he to criticize the movies we make ??” questions Shakthi.
