Rajamouli’s Frustrated Comment at Trailer Event Sparks Unexpected Social Media Storm

At the Globe Trotter event held yesterday for the trailer launch of SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film, an unexpected controversy overshadowed the celebrations. The much-awaited trailer screening faced repeated technical glitches, causing long delays and visible frustration from Rajamouli. In the heat of the moment, he made a remark involving Lord Hanuman, which many felt was inappropriate—especially coming from a filmmaker currently working on a mythological, god-centric project.
Within minutes, clips and quotes from the event spread widely across social media. What should have been a grand promotional moment for the film turned into a trending debate on Twitter. The director’s offhand comment quickly became a hot topic, drawing strong reactions from fans and critics alike. Instead of discussing the movie’s scale, visuals, or expectations, online conversations shifted almost entirely toward Rajamouli’s remark.
As India’s top filmmaker with a huge national and international following, Rajamouli is now facing unexpected criticism and negativity. Many users expressed disappointment, while others defended him, saying it was only a slip made out of frustration during a stressful situation. The incident continues to dominate social media discussions, creating more noise than the actual trailer launch itself.
Despite the controversy, fans are still eagerly waiting for updates on the film. Industry observers expect the hype to pick up again once the team releases clearer promotional material. For now, Rajamouli’s comment remains at the center of online chatter, proving how sensitive and fast-moving digital reactions can be—especially when they involve a personality of his stature.
