Indian 2 OTT fallout - Lens on Vellore Mutiny- bad luck Priya and Loud mouth Siddharth
Indian 2 OTT release on Netflix has let loose a heavy trolls, abuses and memes. One important scene that netizens have noticed is that , Kamal Haasan asks – You talk about Kargil war or the Chinese aggression that happened at your doorstep. Do you know about the war that happened in 1806 and inside India ? “ Ajith fans are circulating a video clip in which Senapathy is talking and on the side there a FB page live and fans are asking for Vidamuyurchi update.
As Kamal said about this freedom struggle that we never heard about, we Googled and up came the fact that it was the Vellore Mutiny by sepoys. I had studied about the Sepoy Mutiny 1857 and till date believed that this was the first rebellion that led to start of our freedom struggle. So 51 years back there was Mutiny and heroes were Tamil sepoys. The description also talks of Tipu Sultan’s sons who were behind this. I stumbled on this writeup by my friend R Rangaraj on Vellore Mutiny in The Federal. It was written last year in August. For me only now the Mutiny caught my attention and thanks to Indian .

Going through vile attacks on the film after OTT release, I found that more than Kamal or Shankar, it was Siddharth who has been bombarded. His speeches at Indian 2 meets are added to drive a punch on Siddharth. Yet another victim is Priya Bhavani Sankar. This film flop is attributed to her unlucky phase. She has cried foul and asked “ if a hero gives four flops , will he be called a flop hero ? Why only heroines ? Hero with flops is called zero market hero or no opening hero. But in case of Indian 2 , I cannot perceive why Priya considers herself as the heroine ? It is not the public that terms a heroine as unlucky charm but the hero and the rival heroine fans. In case of Siddharth, I think , it was his one upmanship at the media interactions.
On Kamal Haasan front, we hear that Ulaganayakan is going to USA on August 14. In that weekend, he is likely to guest at a function organized by Indian Associations abroad in connection with our I Day celebrations.
Speculations abuzz about replacement for Kamal in BB Tamil and latest is that sponsors that in big league will pull out if Kamal is not part of the show and so Kamal will come in a brief video conference in weekend episode along with new host. Did Banijay sleep on Kamal not in BB matter ? It cannot be that Kamal just send over a letter and said goodbye with no notice. By the way things look on social media, without Kamal , only pan sellers, neighborhood dhabas and small time joints will be sponsors.
