GOAT Producers anger Ajith fans - Surya's Kanguva executive Producer compares GOAT with Petta

AGS Entertainment Producers of Vijay’s GOAT has tied up in knots after the posting and reposting of tweets favoring the film. Ajith fans are livid over the Production company retweet of a positive review of GOAT but it did not see that the post had a caption that was abusive of Ajith. As soon as Ajith fans started to bombard the X handle, it was pulled down.

As M S Dhoni fans are said to be flocking Chennai theatres, AGS re-posted a tweet of CSK with photo of Dhoni with the Vijay’s dialogue Whose fan are you ? This further angered Ajith fans as the dialogue in the film is from Vijay to his daughter held captive was about their idol. He provides a clue to his daughter to use the method used by her idol Ajith in film Vedhalam to free her from the captor. The scene makes it obvious that the reference is to Ajith as the Mankatha score is played. Ajith after his appeal is not called Thala by his fans while Dhoni is called Thala by his fans. AGS had to recall this too.

Is Surya camp to be more precise Studio Green Gananvel Raaja angry with Thalaivar ? Producer G. Dhananjayan who is executive Producer of Kanguva reacting to GOAT’s first day collections said that this figure is more than the entire collection of Rajinikanth’s Petta. This comment coming in the backdrop of Surya announcing that he is shifting Kanguva release date as respect to Rajinikanth since Vettaiyan is releasing on same date has led to a trade talk that the shifting was not one that was of choice but compulsion. G. Dhananjayan who elaborated on Kanguva new release date said that as multiplexes in North India were keen to screen the film , efforts were on to get a date where there was no Hollywood film as competition !!!. It is a fact that GOAT did not beat Vijay’s previous film Leo’s first day collection. Before we go back to Petta released in 2019, let us compare Jailor with GOAT. GOAT collected in India an amount of Rs 43 crore while. Jailor ( Aug 2023) collected Rs 72 crores. This is day one collections. Back to Petta. On day one it was pitted against Ajith’s Viswasam. This means that unlike GOAT which had a free run in all screens , Petta had only 400-450 screens in Tamil Nadu. Dhananjayan who is also a box office tracker out of the blue pulling Petta figures to compare with GOAT seemed a deliberate attempt to put down Thalaivar. He knows that the floods in two Andhra States has put the GOAT collections back . It is also known fact that overseas collections figures vary as it depends on the price of US Dollar.
