Adipurush director Om Raut has been brutally trolled for hailing James Cameron’s Avatar 2, which is slated to release in theatres today (December 16).
Om Raut watches Avatar
Celebrities like Akshay Kumar, Kartik Aaryan, and Varun Dhawan, recently attended the special screening of the most awaited Hollywood film Avatar: The Way of Water. At the screening Om Raut, Adipurush director, too was spotted.
After watching James Cameron’s film, Om Raut shared his views on the movie. However, his comment on Avatar: The Way of Water has left many people puzzled.
His reaction video to the latest Hollywood film was shared by 20th Century Fox shared in which the director gave his review. “I think it’s a phenomenal experience watching this film, especially in IMAX 3D.” Even Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari called it a “visual treat,” On Raut can be heard saying in the video.
Netizens react
Soon after the video went viral, people started trolling Om Raut for his comments on Avatar 2. Comparing Om’s upcoming film Adipurush, which received much criticism from the audiences for its VFX effects, social media users found the director’s take on Avatar 2 quite amusing.
Many mocked him for the film Adipurush, which stars south star Prabhas, Bollywood’s Saif Ali Khan, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. Taking to YouTube, a user said that Avatar 2 could be the reason why the director is re-shooting his film Adipurush, “The reason why om started to reshoot Adipursh.”
