VB Flops: Prithviraj’s Mother Claims Cyber Attacks

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Vilayath Buddha, directed by Jayan Nambiar, released in theatres on November 21st. The film has received disastrous responses from both audiences and critics. Early reports indicate a major box office failure.

With a reported budget of 40 crores, Vilayath Buddha has collected only 6.5 crores worldwide so far. This poor performance has raised questions about what went wrong. In this situation, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s mother, actress Mallika Sukumaran, shared her views during a press interaction.

Mallika Sukumaran claimed that Prithviraj Sukumaran is facing cyber attacks aimed at damaging his acting career. She believes this is one of the main reasons behind the failure of Vilayath Buddha. Her comments have since gone viral on social media.

Some people agree with her statement. They point out that while many have criticised the film, others are accusing Prithviraj of neglecting Malayalam cinema to chase Pan Indian dreams. They cite his work in Rajamouli’s Varanasi and suggest that a planned negative campaign is being run to affect his image among Malayalam viewers.

However, others strongly oppose this claim. They argue that if Vilayath Buddha had been a good film, no negative campaign could have affected its theatrical run. They say the failure is due to the film being weak and not because of online attacks.

Mallika Sukumaran’s statement has now become a trending topic online, with many people sharing their reactions and debating the real reason behind the film’s poor performance.
