Manmadhudu 2 Verdict: Disaster

Not even a single film of Nagarjuna in his entire career, including the likes of Bhai or Raju gari Gadhi 2 trolled like this by critics and audiences alike. Other day it is gloom and doom for his new release Manmadhudu 2 however. Cinema analysts, however, opine that this happened due to two women and their previous comments.

With all due respect to the good work put up by Chinmayi and Samantha on Twitter through their activism, they should have impartially knocked off their family and friends in the same meter. Especially when Chinmayi’s husband Rahul Ravindran directorial Manmadhudu 2 trailer was released, this trolling game has started on social media sites as they pointed at the kisses and double entendre dialogues of Nagarjuna inside it. Trollers included Samantha as well as she is the daughter in law of Akkineni khandan.

At that time, both Chinmayi and Samantha criticised director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for making Kabir Singh slap Preethi in Arjun Reddy Hindi version and commented on it with the hashtag #DeeplyDisturbing. Linking the same hashtag to Manmadhudu 2, trollers made an outrage of Nag’s dialogue where he says he will not pick farming just for a plate of food (in connection to falling in love and getting married).

Other day on the eve of film’s release, the peck by Rakul on Jhansi’s lips, followed by Nag’s double meaning dialogues and Rakul’s cigarette smoking, trollers had a feast targetting Samantha and Chinmayi. While they continued to blast them accusing that they are pseudo feminists, it’s Manmadhudu 2 that got entangled in loads of negativity.

This whole discussion happening on Twitter has two sides, but the trolling got more weight with Manmadhudu 2 unable to put a weight with its content.

King Nagarjuna is busy wrapping up the shoot of his next film Manmadhudu 2. Directed by Rahul Ravindran, this romantic drama has been carrying decent expectations. Tollywood audience were left surprised after the film has been announced for August 9th release, less than a week before Saaho release. Nag is left puzzled about the release of Manmadhudu 2 as there are a bunch of projects releasing in August and September.

Sharwanand’s Ranarangam is announced for August 2nd release. Adivi Sesh’s Evaru is hitting the screens on August 23rd and Nani’s Gang Leader is slated for August 30th release. Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya’s multi-starrer Venky Mama, Varun Tej’s Valmiki and Gopichand’s Chanakya are slated for September release. Hence, Nag announced that Manmadhudu 2 will release on August 9th as he wanted a solo release for the film. As of now, there is no clarity on the release date and the final date may change. Rakul Preet Singh is the female lead.
