Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi has praised actor Vishnu Manchu for strongly dealing with harsh online film reviewers. Naga Vamsi said that during the release of Kannappa, Vishnu took such bold steps that many reviewers became silent or gave balanced opinions.
Speaking in a recent interview, Vamsi shared, “I don’t know what exactly Vishnu did, but YouTubers and Instagram reviewers were quiet for two days. They didn’t even mention the film’s name. It was clear that they were scared. Even those who didn’t like the film spoke carefully.”
He added that Kannappa did not receive any negative reviews, and some YouTubers didn’t post reviews at all. “Whatever Vishnu did, it worked. Reviewers were forced to filter their words,” Vamsi said. Many online users now believe that this method should be followed for other films too.
Naga Vamsi is known as one of the most active producers in Tollywood, especially under his banner, Sithara Entertainments. He brought in the trend of producers directly taking part in film promotions. He often speaks openly in interviews and is regularly seen on social media.
Sithara Entertainments is now preparing for the release of its next big film, Kingdom. Starring Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse, and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film is set to release on 31 July. The teaser and songs have already received a great response from fans.
With the release date approaching, the team has started full promotions, including back-to-back interviews. Vamsi believes that public talk, especially after the first show, plays a big role in a film’s success. He pointed out that many films have suffered due to negative early reviews spread online.
Now, all eyes are on Kingdom to see if Vijay Deverakonda can deliver a big hit and if the team’s strong promotional strategy will pay off.
