Venkat Prabhu upholds Karthi

Venkat Prabhu, Karthi and Premji Amaren

Karthi, a happy man in personal life, hasn't been backed by the Tamil audience for his Alex Pandian which released for Pongal. This movie which released amidst huge expectations is on the verge of becoming a disaster at the box office as the word of mouth has been bad since day one. The fans and audience took their feelings about the movie to the social networking sites. When they took it to twitter about Alex Pandian and Karthi – Venkat Prabhu, the director of Karthi's next film Biriyani decided to back his hero. He has lent his full support to the actor by saying, it's the director of the film who should be blamed and held responsible for it's awful screenplay and not the actor who just plays the character.

Venkat Prabhu in his tweet, said:

"In Alex Pandian, Karthi did justice as an actor and producers backed it up well as a product! I don't see why people are annoyed. When a big actors movie bonk at the box office how can it be the directors fault? Guys now understand, no matter what, writer/director is the key. Actors only deliver performance and I am not supporting his films!! Give credit to the right person is what I am asking.”

UTV’s Dhananjayan in support of Venkat Prabhu’s view has tweeted: 

“Well said sir. Directors are the Creators and they make it happen finally. Artistes or Producers can only do their best.” 

With all this support falling in the hands of Karthi, we have to wait to see if Venkat Prabhu, who is directing Karthi, can save his own dignity by doing justice to his words which may turn against him if Biriyani fails to impress the audience.
