Silambarasan and Vetri Maaran starrer 'Arasan' Diwali promo gets backlash on the internet: 'Why are fans disappointed with Anirudh Ravichander?'

An eagerly awaited film promo can sometimes generate heated debate, albeit not necessarily for the right reasons. Silambarasan TR's latest promo video for his upcoming film 'Arasan' directed by Vetri Maaran has received criticism on the Internet. Although fans were impressed by the visuals shot with STR, the background music received sharp criticism.

Several viewers have questioned the quality of the new theme, while others have turned their disappointment into memes and trolling posts.

'Arasan' fire theme music draws criticism

The makers recently released a new promo featuring Silambarasan in a powerful and stylish avatar. The actor's strong screen presence had already created hope among fans after the successful reception of the film's first promotional video. However, the new song, named 'Fire,' failed to impress a segment of the audience. Many viewers went online to complain about the song and even questioned whether the music was composed by Anirudh Ravichander himself.

Fans share memes and question background score

This criticism soon morphed into a deluge of memes and sarcasm on social media. A few fans of STR felt the visuals needed a more compelling background score. Some compared the new theme to Anirudh's previous works and felt disappointed in his latest composition. Some even asked why the team chose this particular track for their important promo video. Even though the comments were not positive, this video created quite a stir, and many people are still commenting about the music and the overall production.

High expectations from the duo Silambarasan and Vetri Maaran's film 'Arasan'

The movie 'Arasan' is creating a lot of hype since this will be the first-ever movie for Silambarasan and director Vetri Maaran as a combination. The movie is set in the same universe as 'Vada Chennai,' creating immediate curiosity among Tamil movie fans. Anirudh Ravichander composed the music for this film, creating much hype. Although the first promo video created a positive reaction and buzz for STR, the Diwali promo video created a completely different kind of buzz.
