The fans are excited to see the huge star cast on the big screen and there was also hype for the flashback sequence.

Now, post the release, the film gained a mediocre talk but the flash back sequence which has the film negative shots gave the fans a kick that they did not expect. The experience of the whole sequence in theatres is paisa vasool moment for the fans.

The fans are already making fresh edits on social media celebrating their faourite Thalaivar. In fact, Lokesh also earned appreciation for pulling out de-aging successfully on the screen. He set a new trend in terms of de-aging and more filmmakers would follow a similar approach in the coming days.
